i'm the only one who can help myself by facing my fears and rising.

 i wish i had friends, i accept that i've been isolated my whole life, that my parents never really had anyone around socially and were isolated apart from going to work. it's not my fault i didn't get shown how to people. i can do better, i can learn better. i'm already directly asking for what i want and need. it's up to others to see if they can meet me there. i will find people who are for me. i trust in myself. i believe in myself.

today i got to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, to walk for miles and miles in quiet and in beautiful nature sounds. i like when people randomly say hello whilst walking on a path. i liked trying to discover paths on my own.

i am bravely me. i express freely. i am authentically me. despite mark not showing up for me when i told him he shouldn't disappoint me on today of all days. i release him, and that expectation and i let go. i know better for next time. i don't want much from him in terms of friendship any longer.

i am love and my life matters.

What area of my life needs the most love and attention right now? friendships, self nourishment, getting back to my body

• What fear-based beliefs can I release today and during this course?

(e.g. I am not enough. I can’t sing. Nobody cares what I think.)

i will never be able to live in this world, connected with others, even though i need others.

• What would I create in my life if fear no longer stopped me?

i would have friends and helping connectedness and community. live a more aligned life in nature. live off land.

list of positives about me - i am kind, i listen to others well, i am peaceful and calm and gentle natured.

lists of things that are challenging about me - i can be stubborn, i don't know how to ask for help, i am frustrating because all i see are challenges when people want me to just get on with it.

What is my favorite way to nurture myself? i like to just go at a slower pace, trying to be mindful. listen to the sounds of nature or soothing music to my mood. move my body, walk a lot, dance, sing, eat well. rest, sleep.

i am worthy of my own love.
