It is OK for me to express how I feel

I have recently seen a couple of coaching clients who have shared with me that they feel unable to speak up; especially to family members.
This is usually because of our past conditioning……I remember when I was a small child who desperately wanted to please everyone….and who was constantly told to ‘shut up’ or ‘be quiet’….so I learned at a very early age not to express myself for fear of being told off and upsetting the people I loved most in the world. So this little girl did as she was told and she shut up for a very long time.
When we grow up with this kind of conditioning it affects us as adults….we do not speak up.
That little child is still within us and is still doing as they are told as they have been taught.
When you understand that you are an adult now and are able to speak up and express yourself it feels powerful.
I let my inner child know that she did nothing wrong, that it wasn’t her fault and that I loved her very much and from now on, I would take care of her.
I now speak as an adult and I express myself without fear.
I invite you to use this affirmation, ‘ I am now able to express myself freely without fear.’
When you start putting yourself and YOUR feelings first everything else falls into place.
You are an adult now. You are not a little child anymore. You have a right to express yourself…..
Sending you all so much love
