Believe in yourself!

Believe in yourself! This is something we hear not infrequently, but what does it mean for us really, and how do we get there? An experience I had yesterday really brought this to my attention. I am definitely a people pleaser! I love to help people and want people to like me. That in itself is not a great problem, but when I look to other people for approval and for a measure of my self worth - then that is a problem! I also realized that I seem to place more weight on a negative comment than I do on positive comments from people. (Unnecessarily cruel to myself I think!)
We can't expect everyone to like us or approve of who we are and what we do. What matters is that we approve of ourselves and believe in what we do. If we can always rely on ourselves for that support, then it gives us all the strength we need!

I agree. Be True To You. I used to moderate how I would express my ideas because of how I thought some people would react...and I began to feel I wasn't being true to myself and my experience. I have been pleasantly surprised when I speak honestly and confidently, people have then approached me with shared ideas and interests...and the others have faded away. Thanks Priscilla for your insight!

Yes it does sound interesting that you got and get such a buzz out of these stones. You must have an affinity with them. Not every one would feel the same though would they?
I am using the Rose Quartz you gave me as a gift but I have dealt with depression as long as I can remember.
Tuning in to good feelings is not easy for me without medication.
I loose my bubble constantly. Go out of my zone am not centred and stabilised.
That could be cause i forgot to bring my medication with me to work this time. I have got some with me called Gabapentin they do help.

Dear Angela,
Thank you so much for your comment!
Yes it's true - I do think that I have an affinity for crystals. Even so, the crystal still holds the same amazing energy, even though certain of us are more or less able to feel that energy. I hope since coming to the evening workshop on crystals that you have been more able to connect and receive benefit from your crystals.
Rose quartz is beautiful, soothing and gentle and can help us love ourselves. There are other great crystals that help with uplifting energy and positivity – such as citrine! One of my favourites! ☺
Being grounded is also an important thing for you, and so choosing crystals that help with that – such as red jasper – which is beautifully nurturing, but also energizing and grounding. It helps to protect our energy too!
Remember to call on your Divine Helpers too, whenever you feel low or lost. They are always here for each one of us, they only need our permission to help us – so just ask them!
Lots of love to you beautiful one!! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
Love Priscilla!
