Learning how to be vulnerable can be messy because it comesย with significant risks and big rewards. It’s difficult to put ourselves out there because we fear it could impact our reputation or may even cause us to lose our partners or friends. But, the power of vulnerability also leads to finding a beautiful sense of belonging and being embraced by others.
When we are vulnerable, itย allows us to tackle our negative emotionsย (rather than driving them away). When we learn how to be vulnerable, it promotes our mental health. Vulnerability also is a sign of bravery. We become more resilient and fearless when we embrace who we are and what we feel.
When we seal off our hearts and minds from vulnerability, we may be shielded from hurt, but by extension, we are also insulated from love and intimate connection, for they all come into our lives through the same door. Closing the door to one is sealing it to all.
