Imagine that you have two cones of ice creams; one is vanilla, and the other is chocolate. As they melt in front of you, you try, desperately, to weigh the pros and cons of each flavor. While you are fighting with yourself over which one you should pick, there's a feeling in your chest nagging you. That feeling is trying to tell you, "Dammit, chocolate is the best flavor. PICK THE DAMN CHOCOLATE ALREADY!" But instead you keep looking at both sides, until eventually the ice creams melt, and you curse yourself for being so indecisive.
Okay, this story seems a little farfetched, but I think you get my point. If you are like me and you had insecurities growing up, or you still have insecurities, then more likely than not you're not in touch with your intuition. It's a common problem that comes from a childhood where you were made to feel as though you were wrong for feeling the way you did. Perhaps one or both parents kept telling you you shouldn't feel sad about having no one to play with since they provided you with everything you wanted. Fact of the matter is, you had a right to feel the way you did. Unfortunately, once you are all grown up, behavioural patterns can be difficult to break, but not impossible. It all starts with you taking the necessary steps to reparent yourself by practicing self-love.
