Reanimating The Warrior Goddess: Into Week 2 and I Learn My Name

Sometimes emotions are the window into what's really missing in yourself. Tonight, I have run the spectrum of emotion from high to low for no particular reason other than my hormones are unpredictable. But what I did do was pay attention to the outside stimulus that caused each emotion. The lesson I learned is that I have been the product of my own disappointment for some time now. As much as I feel the awesomeness of myself coursing through my veins, I have a strong river of failure to account for. This relates to my current endevour to transform into the Warrior Goddess. 

In order to be successful at reanimating my warrior I am going to have to face the failure demon in my mind. I am my own stumbling block because I compare myself in the present to myself in the past. I was once the warrior. I allowed myself to fail in maintaining that warrior. Or at least the vision of what I concider the warrior goddess to be. I create an image of what I am not today. 

What is my failure? PRIDE. When I say pride I do not mean that I am too proud to make any changes. I am holding myself to a standard that no longer is applicable to me in the present. My ego takes over. So I defeat myself before I get my feet off the ground. 

How do I defeat pride? TRUTH. It is time for me to be honest with me. I am exactly where I led myself to be. I not only followed the path, I created it. And only I can navigate myself out of the dark woods and into the safety of my warrior's lair. Tonight I took a picture of myself to see the truth of who I am at this very moment in time. I stand before my mirror and love myself right now. I let myself be the vision of the warrior goddess. I name her. I accept that she is me now, then, and yet to be. There is no striving to become her, she is me now. Say hello to the woman goddess I call Valkyrie. 

I just met me again. And I am still pretty amazing.  

 

To my Sweeties that are reanimating their own goddesses, take a picture and name your goddess. Look deep into the truth of who you are right now and give yourself a hug. We will improve ourselves together, but love ourselves in the present.
