In today's episode, I want to talk to all of my tough cookies, who are carrying this illusionary shield, or as I call it, the "emotional guard" for protection. We guard up because we got hurt. Since we don't want to feel this way again, we armor up, hoping it will protect us from experiencing this pain again. Do you know what I found out, my friend? This guard is nothing but an illusion, and it's based on fear. It took me a long time to understand that guarding myself is a waste of my time and effort. We armor up because of three main reasons. 1. We are afraid to get hurt 2. We don't want to be seen, so we choose perfection over authenticity 3. We don't know how to cope with pain, so we reach for this toxic coping mechanism to keep our emotions under control. Since our emotional armor is a product of our fear of hurt, it doesn't allow us to heal because we are not feeling our emotions. We are in fear to feel. And if we are in fear to feel, we can't process our emotions and move through them. Today, I want you to reconsider the armor you are carrying around. Be honest and ask yourself, "Has this been working for me? Has this been helping me to deal with my traumas and heal my toxic traits?" OR "Has this been keeping me in fear and preventing me from opening up?"
