Vulnerability - Take Time

Vulnerability

How to get started with talking about your vulnerabilities.

1. Discuss your vulnerabilities with your partner or a close friend that you trust or a mental health practitioner?

2. Name a fear. What is the worst that can happen?

3. Discuss a recent experience. (How did you manage it?)

4. Share a goal you would like to accomplish to move through this vulnerability.

Did you know sharing your vulnerabilities with a trusted person can increase your confidence? How may you ask? Well, firstly it can deepen compassion and empathy for accepting and embracing different aspects of you. Therefore, you can understand yourself and others better then you did before. Maybe some of you reading this could be asking, “I don’t want to be vulnerable”, or I fear vulnerability as I have been hurt once or twice before and you don’t want to be hurt again.

This is true for most of the population, however what if you asked yourself, what if I wasn’t vulnerable, what then? How could I build authentic real and genuine connections with others? How could I build a relationship with others without shared experience, knowledge, and belief systems?

Have you heard the saying Feel theFear and Do It Anyway… Most things in life can be scary until you go after them and work through them. Building Confidence through sharing your vulnerabilities is no different.

1. Deeply sharing (increases connectivity with yourself and others)

2. Sharing what’s going on for you in the moment (increases your awareness)

3. Saves time in the future.
