Hey you,
 

Can I ask you a question? When you perceive that someone is judging you, has an opinion about you, thinks you’re too much, etc - what is your first response? 

If you’re like most of us, it’s probably something like this: walls and barriers up, defend, prove them wrong, show that you are the opposite of what they think - but all of that requires that you invest a LOT of energy into their point of view about you.

Have you ever considered that vulnerability is what will change this - that can actually melt other people’s judgments?

I used to not believe it myself - used to think that I had to protect myself. But, the more I chose to be vulnerable in those sticky moments, I saw how much my vulnerability melted other people’s walls and barriers and even changed their judgments.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s a deep trust in yourself and in the possibilities that exist beyond what you can see. It’s the willingness to let go of needing to have all the answers or proving yourself, and instead, lowering your walls and barriers to allow yourself to receive new awareness, new opportunities, and even new ways of being.

When you grip too tightly, or dig your feet in—whether in business, money, relationships, or your own personal growth—you might unknowingly block what’s trying to come to you. But when you soften, when you trust yourself enough to loosen your grip, you open the door to greater possibilities.

So, here’s something to play with this week:
What am I holding onto so tightly that, if I let go even a little, could create more ease in my life?

Notice what comes up. You don’t have to let go all at once. But, what if vulnerability—the willingness to be open, to be with what is, even when you don’t have all the answers—is actually the thing that creates the future you’re asking for?

I’d love to hear what this brings up for you. Hit reply and let me know—where have you noticed vulnerability creating more ease and possibility in your life?  

P.S.  Curious how else you can incorporate this into your life? Here are a couple ways you can dive deeper:
