One of the topics that comes a lot in my private coaching sessions was \”the feeling of being invisible\”. Women feeling like no one sees them, no one hears them, no one gets them. Feeling transparent. Weird. Not interesting. Not likeable.
The truth behind the Invisible Syndrome
I have noticed that often when a woman feels this way, they are 3 recurring patterns:
: She isn\’t connected to her body so her presence is a bit awkward/uncomfortable. Another way to put it is she doesn\’t feel at home in her body or she doesn\’t love her body.
: She is not sure anymore of who she is and what she wants. In other words, she doesn\’t really see herself, she has lost touch with her true essence and her brilliance, which makes it difficult for other people to see it.
: She always worries about what others think about her, her actions, her beliefs and desires. In order words, she lives in captivity, afraid to express her truth or say YES to herself, her life. And often she is the worst judge of herself.
: She doesn\’t want to be seen. She is afraid of the attention. She\’s afraid of the responsibility that comes with having a voice in this world and owning her brilliance. She isn\’t even sure she likes who she is and trusts it so why allow other people to se it?
The solution: a magical self-love affair
This is what I have learnt in the last 7 years working with women: it all comes down to one question: What relationship do you have with yourself?
One of my friends said few weeks ago: \”I am really liking myself and enjoy spending time with ME. I feel bad for any man who has to come into my life: he will have to compete with me.\”
Brilliant!! Loved it.
Do you understand and treasure the woman you are? From head to to toe, body, mind and spirit? Do you like spending time with yourself?
This magical self-love affaire requires time and dedication. Exploring who you are, understanding your journey, embracing your inner and outer beauty, owning your flaws and your mistakes, expressing your deepest desires, healing your wounds, cultivating your unique gifts and taking responsibility for your brilliance.
What if we married ourselves when we turn 16? Promising to love, treasure and support the person we are. A self-love pledge. A magical promise that brings awareness to the importance of maintaining a deep connection to self.
This is the work I do with women: guiding them in breaking out of their invisible cages, in reclaiming who they are with pleasure and passion, in creating the beautiful life they desire from a deep awareness of their emotional heartbeat and soul journey.
A gentle start
If you feel like you feel INVISIBLE, ask: in which way am I not seeing myself? How can I start understanding and loving myself? Write this question in a journal. Pause. Breathe. Wait. The answer will come.
