Tomar decisiones nos lleva a cumplir sueños - Ladies of Hive Contest #264

(Photos by Lolakiayesphoto)

En estos últimos meses se me ha ido moviendo todo por dentro, muy sincrónico con la temporada de escorpio. He estado percibiéndome mas que nunca como creadora de mi realidad, lejos de querer drama o cualquier tipo de conflicto, ha estado rondando en mi, una sensación muy clara de rendición. Como un hilito interno que empezó a tirar y yo lo seguí, ese hilo me llevó a una decisión importante elegirme. Elegirme de verdad. Sin excusas, sin disfraces, sin negociar mi energía para encajar.
Nunca es fácil revisar relaciones, partiendo por aceptar mis propios ritmos, prioridades y la forma en que entrego mi fuerza vital, todo se vuelve confuso al principio. Por años quise responder a expectativas que nadie me exigía, pero que yo asumí como condición para ser querida, aceptada o validada. Ese esfuerzo siempre se paga con un precio alto, cansancio, dudas, y por consecuencia desconexión con la propia esencia "ese punto donde no nos reconocemos ni nosotros mismos".
In recent months, everything inside me has been shifting, very much in sync with the Scorpio season. I have been perceiving myself more than ever as the creator of my reality. Far from wanting drama or any kind of conflict, a very clear sense of surrender has been lingering within me. Like an inner thread that began to pull, and I followed it, that thread led me to an important decision: to choose myself. To truly choose myself. No excuses, no disguises, no negotiating my energy to fit in.
It's never easy to review relationships, starting with accepting my own rhythms, priorities, and the way I give my life force. Everything becomes confusing at first. For years I wanted to meet expectations that no one demanded of me, but which I assumed were a condition for being loved, accepted, or validated. That effort always comes at a high price: exhaustion, doubts, and, as a result, disconnection from one's own essence, “that point where we don't even recognize ourselves.”

La pregunta de esta semana me la recomendó @mujer.con.alas desde #ladysofhive What’s one big decision you made recently that changed something in your life? gracias a @jane1289 por la propuesta.
Y mientras termino de poner en palabras algo que ya estaba latiendo, lo nombro: ¡mi valor no depende de la mirada externa! Elegirme significa escucharme incluso cuando hasta a mi misma me incomoda. Sostenerme en mi centro sin pedir permiso para existir.
Elegirme también fue aceptar que mi autenticidad no siempre cae bien. Antes eso me daba miedo y fácilmente caía en la adaptación como método de sobrevivencia social, me acomodaba a las circunstancias que yo misma iba creando para mantener un dialogo interno que alimentara a esa herida de identidad. Mi forma de ser atraerá a quienes resuenen y alejará a quienes no y eso ya no me hace ruido, hoy por hoy se han ido tantos y han llegado tantos otros que simplemente no me queda otra que abrazar el proceso porque se que somos en evolución y eso "Me da paz" lo genuino siempre se acomoda en el camino.
Recordé que soy digna de amor tal como soy. Incluso cuando soy intensa. Incluso cuando molesto. Incluso cuando pongo límites y luego cambio de opinión. Soy digna porque existo, porque crezco, porque vivo con intención. El respeto dejó de ser un debate y se volvió mi base solida, sobre todo de mi para mi.
Se siente como cuando enderezas la espalda después de horas en una mala postura. Al elegirme, apareció una fuerza que estaba dormida bajo obligaciones que ya no me representaban. Una fuerza mayor que grita "es seguro ser auténtica", "es seguro ocupar mi lugar", "es seguro confiar en mi voz".
This week's question was recommended to me by @mujer.con.alas from #ladysofhive What’s one big decision you made recently that changed something in your life? Thanks to @jane1289 for the suggestion.
And as I finish putting into words something that was already beating in my heart, I name it: My value does not depend on the external gaze! Choosing myself means listening to myself even when it makes me uncomfortable. Holding myself in my center without asking permission to exist.
Choosing myself also meant accepting that my authenticity is not always well received. Before, that scared me, and I easily fell into adaptation as a method of social survival. I accommodated myself to the circumstances I myself created in order to maintain an internal dialogue that fed that wound of identity. My way of being will attract those who resonate with it and repel those who don't, and that no longer bothers me. Today, so many have left and so many others have arrived that I simply have no choice but to embrace the process because I know that we are evolving, and that “gives me peace.” What is genuine always finds its place along the way.
I remembered that I am worthy of love just as I am. Even when I am intense. Even when I am annoying. Even when I set boundaries and then change my mind. I am worthy because I exist, because I grow, because I live with intention. Respect ceased to be a debate and became my solid foundation, especially for myself.
It feels like when you straighten your back after hours of poor posture. By choosing myself, a strength emerged that had been dormant under obligations that no longer represented me. A greater force that shouts, “It's safe to be authentic,” “It's safe to take my place,” “It's safe to trust my voice.”

Para la segunda pregunta propuesta What dream did you achieve that your younger self would be proud of?
Conecto directo con mi niña interior. Esa niña curiosa, sensible, enamorada de la magia. Mucho fuego, poca vergüenza, y muchas ganas de jugar y aventurarse a conocer de tooodo y a todos.
Si la tuviera enfrente, le diría que hicimos mucho más de lo que imaginó.
Aprendí a tocar guitarra, charango, ukelele. Eso solo ya la haría saltar de alegría jajajaja recuerdo que mi padre me había regalado un cuatro para que aprendiera música tradicional y me fue tan mal que pensé que no servía para la música (aun no he aprendido cuatro jajaja). Hoy no solo descubrí que puedo cantar y tocar, si no que además escribo mis propias canciones, que muchas de ellas llegan como mensajes, como si fueran luces que atraviesan mi vida cotidiana. Son recordatorios de quién soy, mi verdad. Tengo certeza de que esa niña estaría orgullosa de que convertí el sueño en mi camino de vida.
Le hablo todos los días y mirándome al espejo le digo "Yo soy el adulto disponible para ti, y lo que me digas que quieres hacer, tranquila, yo estoy a cargo, vamos por esos sueños juntas".
También estaría feliz y muy sorprendida de saber que hoy comparto mi alegría en forma de ceremonias, yoga de la risa y espacios donde el alma respira. Eso ella lo soñaba sin saberlo, porque hasta en los momentos mas duros sabia que había una razón para todo lo que vivió.
For the second question, What dream did you achieve that your younger self would be proud of?
I connect directly with my inner child. That curious, sensitive girl who was in love with magic. Full of fire, unashamed, and eager to play and venture out to learn about everything and everyone.
If I had her in front of me, I would tell her that we did much more than she ever imagined.
I learned to play the guitar, charango, and ukulele. That alone would make her jump for joy, ha ha ha. I remember that my father had given me a cuatro so that I could learn traditional music, and I was so bad at it that I thought I had no talent for music (I still haven't learned to play the cuatro, ha ha ha). Today, I not only discovered that I can sing and play, but I also write my own songs, many of which come as messages, like lights that shine through my everyday life. They are reminders of who I am, my truth. I am certain that that little girl would be proud that I turned my dream into my life's path.
I talk to her every day and, looking at myself in the mirror, I say, “I am the adult who is there for you, and whatever you tell me you want to do, don't worry, I'm in charge, let's go for those dreams together.”
She would also be happy and very surprised to know that today I share my joy in the form of ceremonies, laughter yoga, and spaces where the soul can breathe. She dreamed of this without knowing it, because even in the hardest moments, she knew there was a reason for everything she experienced.

Hace un tiempo en una conversación con una consteladora amiga, salió el tema de la niña interna y me regalo un ejercicio para hablar con ella, consistía en escribirle una carta y después de hacerlo y leer lo que tenia para decirme fue que supe lo que les estoy contando. Mi niña quería que yo supiera que soy suficiente, que mis dones cuentan, que mi verdad importa, que mi espiritualidad y mi creatividad tienen un lugar real en el mundo, soy humana, también causo dolor a otros sin querer y siempre tengo la oportunidad de crecer e ir comprendiendo que del dolor también florece el amor con humildad. Hoy lo sé.
Al juntar ambas respuestas, aparece algo evidente, la decisión de elegirme y el sueño que cumplí van de la mano. Al elegirme, honré a mi niña. Al honrarla, fortalecí mi adultez y desde ahí construyo la vida que siempre quise.
Estos meses han sido una mezcla de hermosura y retos, pero cada ciclo me viene enseñando a detenerme cuando mi energía lo pide y a sostenerme por sobre todas las cosas cuando mis emociones se remueven.
Los sueños a veces llegan en forma de cosas simples, soy mi hogar. Soy mi raíz. Me convertí en la mujer que mi niña esperaba.
Una mujer en expansión.
Esa mujer soy yo.
Este escrito ha sido redactado con la intención de volver a ser leído cuando necesite saber como voy y poder afirmarme en mi poder.
Some time ago, in a conversation with a friend who is a constellation therapist, the topic of the inner child came up, and she gave me an exercise to talk to her. It consisted of writing her a letter, and after doing so and reading what she had to say to me, I knew what I am telling you now. My inner child wanted me to know that I am enough, that my gifts matter, that my truth matters, that my spirituality and creativity have a real place in the world, that I am human, that I also cause pain to others without meaning to, and that I always have the opportunity to grow and understand that love also blossoms from pain with humility. Today I know this.
When I put both answers together, something becomes clear: the decision to choose myself and the dream I fulfilled go hand in hand. By choosing myself, I honored my inner child. By honoring her, I strengthened my adulthood, and from there I am building the life I always wanted.
These months have been a mixture of beauty and challenges, but each cycle has taught me to stop when my energy demands it and to hold myself above all else when my emotions are stirred.
Dreams sometimes come in the form of simple things: I am my home. I am my roots. I became the woman my little girl was waiting for.
A woman in expansion.
That woman is me.
This writing has been composed with the intention of being reread when I need to know how I am doing and to be able to affirm myself in my power.

Gracias Ladys!!
