Who do you present to the world in order to belong?

Do You…

Often feel like you don’t belong?
Feel you can’t really be yourself in a group?
Have trouble connecting so you pretend to be someone you’re not?
Describe yourself as a chameleon?

We all wear masks. Masks are the parts of ourselves we present to the world in order to fit in, and feel we belong, to our family, group of friends, colleagues and anywhere else we wish to be a part of. They were created as a way to help us navigate situations where we didn’t feel safe.

Our masks help us cope with the thoughts; “I’m not good enough, and one day someone is going to find out I’m an imposter.”Does this sound familiar?

If you answered yes…then keep reading

The Masks We Wear consists of a series of two day conversations that take place over four months. It’s designed to guide you through a process of discovering the intelligence behind the masks you created, and an invitation to remove them so the true brilliance of who you are can shine through.

Focusing on the elements, water, air, earth and fire Dr. Kandis Lock, ND, and I are inviting you to join us on this journey where you will learn, discover and put into practice how to;

* utilize the elements to unmask the hidden strategies you have created,

* embodied techniques to help you connect more with yourself and your body,

* apply the elements to breath as a gateway to staying with and moving through the tough conversations with yourself and others, and

* gently remove the masks that no longer serve you at home, work and social settings.

The Process

* Two-day, in person gatherings, held once a month (Sat/Sun) in Ottawa and/or Montreal

* Each month we will focus on, and do a deep dive into one of the four elements (Each, Air, Water, Fire)

* Access to videos and blogs to help the information presented.

* Membership to a closed Marco Polo group as a way to stay connected throughout the process and beyond.

* You can decide which sessions you want to attend. If you miss one you can catch it the next offering

There is nothing wrong with wearing masks…The question is are you ready to see what your life can be like without them? Join us to find out!

Have you noticed that most of the articles and blogs out there are about having to fix something? I have to admit, I too have fallen into that frame of thinking from time to time. Today I want to invite you to consider sharing more about all the good things happening in your life.

There are times when I think we feel that in order to be a part of a group, whether family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances, to fit in, we have to find something wrong in our lives. That the only relevant stories to share are our moments of loss, grief, sadness, disappointment etc. Does this resonate?

We are told bragging is bad…

Here’s an interesting twist on holding the belief only bad news gets attention. For years whenever I had good news, I mean really exciting news to share, no one was around. I could never find anyone to share in my joy and excitement. I would call at least 5 people…no one would answer. It was like the universe was telling me no one wants to hear my good news. That translated into a belief that people would only be there if my life was not going well. My conversations and writing became about my struggles with a dash of something good every now and then. I started to look for problems when things were going well.

I believe the story we make up is around our value. Value that our thoughts are only worth sharing and capturing when there is a problem to solve and/or fix. That in order to fit in we should have problems like everyone else. We don’t want people to feel less than, and don’t want others to think we are bragging. Could this be because when we hear someone sharing their good news we have judgements about it…we compare where we are in our life and might feel less than? So we assume others are doing the same?

This is a natural reaction, we can’t help compare ourselves to others. And because we don’t want to make someone else feel bad by boasting about our good fortune we tone it down. Yes, we can talk about the promotion…only if we downplay it, we bite our tongues when good fortune smiles on us, worse yet, make it seem trivial. We are taught not to brag, or to make a big deal of our great events, unless others are also experiencing wonderful things.

We can change things around…

This deeply held belief has results…you see the universe, energy, whatever you want to call it knows just one thing…where your attention is. If over time you keep downplaying all the good things, all of a sudden all the not so good things begin to happen more frequently. And we don’t understand why… I know this from personal experience.

Sooo my invitation…which may take you out of your comfort zone, and challenge the deeply held beliefs running like undercurrents within you is… Share your exciting news, brag, boast, and own how SPECTACULAR you are! Breathe into all the uncomfortableness…maybe we’ll start a new trend…to share the truth of our experiences, whatever they may be at any given moment in time.

Until the next time!
