Self Honouring means honouring our needs, boundaries, desires and emotions in any moment and in every experience.
It is a moment to moment process in which we have the opportunity to make the decision to not Self Abandon but rather to acknowledge and honour our authentic truth.
It doesn't mean always getting what we want. It doesn't even always mean asking for it. Sometimes self-awareness and acknowledgement is enough. We learn how to do it as we go.
In order to Self Honour we must cultivate the kind of relationship with ourselves that fosters connection and somatic awareness so we have open access to the information we require to determine what our authentic truth is. What we feel, what we fear, what we want, what we need.
Once we have this understanding, the second part of the Self Honouring process is to then act and respond in accordance with our truth in the most compassionate and appropriate way. We try.
Self Honouring can be as simple as acknowledging thirst whilst in the depth of a work task and getting up to get a glass of water.
It can also be very complex and require a deep exploration into parts of us that may otherwise remain hidden.
The more often we Self Honour, the less we Self Abandon and so we deepen our sense of trusting our inner knowing and living our lives in alignment with our flexible, changeable, moment to moment truth.
