Softness as strength: Redefining Vulnerability

Be Vulnerable: Emerge Stronger.



Is Being Vulnerable a strength or a weakness?

Do we allow ourselves openly to express our emotions, thoughts and experience? Are we ok to be judged?

In today’s time, people are hiding behind the screen, they somewhere are not facing themselves. The social media, I feel has made a lot of people run behind external validation and a world of show off.


Vulnerability is a display of courage and strength because it takes bravery to expose our true self. It is expressing our thoughts, feelings and experiences even if it feels uncomfortable and risky. It somewhere deepens the relationship and builds genuine connection if the other person is understanding and is creating a safe space for you. It is not a sign of weakness.


The craving for validation from a third person whom we do not know is true and good to ourselves? I have no clue about it. This validation and fake show off are making people overthink is what I feel. They are becoming more and more superficial. The lack of trust is perceived in the world outside is what I feel, when a genuine person is expressing their feeling or emotion towards you at times its being used against them by us, rather than comforting them or providing a safe space.


How good is that? 

How respectful is it?

Why has mankind stooped so low?

 

Instead we can Embrace vulnerability

  • Start small ( experience , thought )
  • Acknowledge other person’s efforts and true emotions
  • Self compassion towards accepting flaws
  • Be authentic
  • Build safe space
  • Let go of fear.
  • Setting healthy boundaries
  • Moving on.


The times are changing. Being vulnerable, and expressing our heart out is getting difficult for the people and the busy lifestyle and hustle culture is an add on to it.


The dilemma is that are we being vulnerable to ourselves also?

Breaking Free from Fear : A Personal Tale of Choosing Faith !

Image
As a person I am shy and an introvert. As a child I would often talk to myself and was happy in my own world. Even when I was in doubt, I never asked for help. In my worst moments also my shyness overpowered my curiosity. There was a constant battle between doubts and questions hovering in my mind. I sought answers through self-talk. There were times, when I felt that I have very few people to talk to and fortunately very little drama to deal with. The flipside of this situation was neither I had any listening ear nor anybody to seek advice or give suggestions. My shy and introvert personality left me no choice but to deal with my problems myself. This process to keep myself grounded, worked until I was a child. As I grew up and embarked on my professional journey there was a lot of self-doubt. I wanted to be a DOCTOR and serve people. Later, the questions about which stream, how to go about it and the mindset required rose. As a child these questions never popped up in my mind....

Always when I embark on something new which puts me out of my comfort zone, a voice taunts me.. “Writing a Blog!”✍ “Becoming a Life Coach!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣  “Can you do it?” “Will you succeed?” “What will people think about you?” “They might laugh or pass a nasty comment at you.” “It will surely be embarrassing.!! ” These questions forced me to think, what if I lose my confidence and crush my self esteem ?
