What would you tell your 14 year old Self?
joanneameyacohen.com/ Hello and welcome to another episode of WomanRising TV. I was inspired by a question asked by Amanda de Cadenet on her show The Conversation. When she interviews women, she completes by asking, “What would you tell your 14 year old self?” And it got me thinking. What would I tell my 14 year old Self? The older I get, the more workshops I lead and participate in, the more I realize how much pain we women hold. And how much more incredible our lives would be if we focused on healing our past pains and hurts. In my life, both sisterhood and flower essences have played a huge part of my own liberation. They have allowed me to sort through that which doesn’t serve me or ties my heart. In sisterhood, I see this being so easeful. Hearing another woman’s story makes it safe to show ours. Hearing another woman’s story makes us realize we are not alone or misunderstood. Flower Essences make this inner healing so easeful as well. They work to bring past pains and limiting beliefs to the conscious mind where we can choose to let them go and or reframe them into empowering thoughts. So, what have I healed? What would I tell my 14 year old self? You are not alone. In fact, every one else feels the same way that you do. You are not the only one who doesn’t get this thing called life. Everyone is still figuring it out. You are beautiful. Stop comparing yourself to others. Look in the mirror. See your beauty. You will have the life you desire. The same girlfriends you have now will be that much more of your sisters. So, what would you tell your 14 year old self? With the wisdom you have gathered in your life up until this point, what might she need to hear? Let us hear your love notes to your inner adolescent below. I feel if we can all give love to that 14 year old inside, we can actually change how we are presently engaging with our partners, friends, children, and our desires. With love! Joanne Ameya
