23 – Acceptance

Wattle (Acacia falcata)

Keyword: Embrace

If you have experienced the painful sting of rejection, you will feel the deep scars in your soul which influences the quality of your attachments and behaviours. Rejection feels like you never have a home or a tribe. Which often motivates you to seek approval through people-pleasing, over-working, over-achieving, perfectionism or despair, hopelessness and worthlessness.

These survival strategies often lead to exhaustion, mental health struggles, and fractured relationships.

This gentle, welcoming wattle offers a hug of acceptance and love. What if you could accept yourself instead of seeking validation from others? By doing this you could heal and withdraw these demands you silently and unknowingly broadcast from your soul towards others. These needy emotions often will be felt by others causing further external rejection.

This essence encourages you to release these old pain patterns and embrace the truth that you are infinitely lovable, valuable, and capable of both giving and receiving love.
