Why do we stay in relationships that make us feel like sh*te?

Why do we stay in relationships that make us feel powerless, disrespected, hurt, shocked and traumatised?

Is it really as simple as "just leave"?

This week we head towards the new moon. This waning moon phase is a time to align with unravelling. Forgiveness practices can continue as we reconcile the goings on of the past month. We can open to Spirit to receive guidance for the next cycle; how we want to do it this time and what we're leaving behind.

Why do we stay in relationships that make us feel powerless, disrespected, hurt, shocked and traumatised?

Is it really as simple as "just leave"?

What is happening underneath this unhealthy continuation of a dynamic where we know we deserve better?

And in that question lies the next layer. Deep down we all know that we deserve love and to be treated beautifully. Our 'staying' is our disbelief that someone would not do this for us. Each time we are mistreated, we can't help but give them another opportunity to prove us right and come back to us with what we deserve - love.

Yet they never do. It just gets worse.

I invite you this week to stop waiting for love to be given to you by another and start giving yourself this love. Don't abandon yourself and play helpless. Your love is huge - give it to yourself and see how it changes your world for the better!

Try this simple practice;

Place one hand over your womb space (spirit womb for men) and one over your heart.

Say, "Deep down I know that I am worthy of perfect unconditional love and to be treated with respect, dignity and grace. I give myself that love now."

Bow your head slightly in honour of yourself.

Breathe deeply and take the stance of someone honouring a woman (or man) of power and beauty.

Smile at yourself, for doing this for yourself, as you deserve.

Do this daily, as often as you can, before meeting with people to ensure you are operating in a self reliant and empowered way and whenever you feel depleted.

Loving ourselves is a huge act of courage because it really does change things. The ripple effect infinite.
