Welcome to one of the kindest, most big-hearted, and loving communities around! I am so excited you’re here with me. I have loved recording these solo episodes and am hoping they add value, meaning, and impact in your life, and remind you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges on the journey of being your You-est You. If you’re listening to this episode, my hunch is that you might have also struggled with self-bullying and being crappy to yourself. I share very openly and honestly my own challenges with healing past hurts and upsetting experiences that led me down a dark tunnel of attacking and bullying myself. I know that what happens on the inside, in our inner world, is always reflected in our outer world. If we want less upset and drama, we must do the inner work of healing and connecting with the parts of us that are still hurt. I share my own feel to heal process and that of the Inner Bonding workbook so that you can start feeling more grounded, healed, and aligned within yourself. I hope it resonates at the deepest level.

Why We Bully Ourselves

So often, we have buried trauma. Whether that is trauma with a big or little T, it doesn’t matter. The trauma that happened in our childhood where we didn’t properly heal because we didn’t possess the emotional intelligence to cope with the situation is carried into our adulthood. It’s not our fault. We just weren’t taught how to deal with our emotions in a healthy way. Those same children grow up to be adults who don’t understand how to digest our emotions properly. Instead of dealing with them, we stuff them or abandon ourselves, disconnecting from what needs healing. What we have learned is that this leads to physical illness and addiction. Instead of processing our feelings, we make ourselves sick or create unhealthy relationships with things like food, spending, or alcohol. And when we can’t process our emotions but feel threatened, upset, or overwhelmed, we attack ourselves—faulting ourselves for not being more capable, not good enough.

Stop Beating Yourself Up

In this episode, I talk about how to go within and have a ritual for tuning into the hurt and pain and sitting with it so you can learn to stop beating yourself up. When fear sneaks up, making us feel lesser than, it often triggers a response from childhood when we felt not good enough or compared to things that made us feel lesser than. Judging ourselves for falling short was something we trained ourselves to do from a young age. But it is essential to feel it to heal it and doing the necessary inner work. So sitting with these feelings as they come up in the present day and taking a hard look at where you are trying to deny your emotions is essential. You need to tap into that aspect of yourself and honor that part to adapt your mindset. And when that is done, invite your Higher Power in to be with you. To give you strength, comfort and healing.

Gratitude

I love pulling cards from my You-est You deck and today’s card was gratitude. This was perfect as I discussed how feeling gratitude for the lesson of the situation is part of the healing, how feeling gratitude for the experience and learning from the self-bullying so that you can move forward towards forgiveness and being more kind to yourself. 

Final Thoughts

It is so important to stop beating yourself up. No one likes a bully, so it is crucial to do the work to end the self-bullying. If you wouldn’t do it to someone else, it isn’t right to do it to yourself. I touch more on self-bullying and imposter syndrome in the book I am currently working on, Who Does She Think She Is. I think you are going to love it. If you are interested in the You-est You deck, you can get the printed box of cards or pdf printable version at juliereisler.com/shop.
