How do I relax and just speak my truth. I find that I get so wound up when it is time to say what I think or know. Doubting myself, my heart churns, and it is difficult to cut right to the clarity of my truth.

Thinking back, I remember an embarrassing tween moment when I told a story without a point to a big group of friends. When I got to the end, the "popular" boy asked, "and then what?" "That was it." I replied. He looked to the side and said, "OooK" with a giggle. The whole group passed an awkward silence and I am wrapped up with this nervousness about sharing my thoughts.

How do I trust my perspective? What is my belief if I'm not trusting myself? Because if I don't trust myself I'm not trusting God.

I need to remember that God and I are one. You and I are God. When I trust myself and my truth, I am trusting in our shared divinity.
