When we look for validation from external sources, we often miss out on the deep, soulful connection that we must have within ourselves first. By taking initiative and giving yourself grace, you develop a greater sense of self-awareness that allows you to create deep, intimate connections within yourself and the relationships that are present in your life. We must trust divine timing and take responsibility for the patterns that we have developed over time, including responses to trauma. It is okay to give yourself grace. Remember to do so through this process. Practice grace and patience as you navigate this new 5D unity consciousness and connect with the source. Trust the process, love, and allow yourself to be loved.
