Shame is the undercurrent that keeps you living in the belief that you are unworthy of all the bounty life has to offer. Somewhere along the way, we have internalized the belief that we are - in our deepest selves - defective and wrong. Shame is not a natural emotion. Babies aren’t born feeling shame. We manufacture it within ourselves, as punishment for not adhering to the norms of society… Just for today, see what it feels like to open those clenched fists - that clenched heart - and receive every good thing .Panache Desai
About This Quote
Shame is the undercurrent that keeps you living in the belief that you are unworthy of all the bounty life has to offer. Somewhere along the way, we have internalized the belief that we are - in our deepest selves - defective and wrong. Shame is not a natural emotion. Babies aren’t born feeling shame.
We manufacture it within ourselves, as punishment for not adhering to the norms of society…Just for today, see what it feels like to open those clenched fists - that clenched heart - and receive every good thing that has come your way without a second thought or a second glance back at the past. That’s how I feel about you. That’s how I feel about my life.
Shame doesn’t have to be your friend anymore. When you feel it, I want you to reach out instead of keeping silent and hiding from yourself. Start fighting back against shame, every day, so that eventually it won’t exist at all anymore.
