Mastering Self-Intimacy: Techniques for Building a Loving Relationship with Yourself! [Part II of II]

The HER2.0LAB: You...but bolder!

I’m coming in hot, hot, hot today!!!

Today, we’re diving into the juicy topic of self-intimacy. We often think of intimacy with others, but what about intimacy with ourselves? What does that mean?!

Self-intimacy is a state of BEing, not doing! It's about having a deep and genuine connection with yourself, accepting who you are without judgment, and managing and expressing your emotions healthily. It's an ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth—a journey of having authority over your life, thoughts, emotions, and decisions!

Remember episode 59? I shared a new perspective on being alone—one that’s empowering and enjoyable. Even in the weirdness and discomfort of being in your own company, you can find FUN! Being present in your own company can be freeing and transform you into who you’re meant to be.

Why is that episode important? It sets the stage for mastering self-intimacy by showing you where you might resist being alone and offering you a perspective shift to see the opportunities your aloneness presents.

So, mastering self-intimacy...

You might still resist being alone, but you’re curious about what more it has to offer. You might doubt you could enjoy your aloneness beyond the surface level you’ve experienced so far. Or you might be afraid to get honest with yourself but have decided to journey towards becoming the lead authority in your own life!

When you grow in self-awareness, fear, doubt, and resistance don’t disappear. Mastering self-intimacy means seeing these feelings and yet choosing YOU [and your new identity] over and over. With this practice, over time, it becomes second nature. It’s who you ARE, how you naturally show up, who you BE!

Let’s talk about things that aren’t often discussed as it relates to the self-intimacy you hold for yourself!
