As women, we are socialised to please, to smooth the way, to put our own needs second, third - last.
We've been taught that what others think, want and need is more important than what we want. And this extends to feeling that our lives, bodies and choices need external approval.
They don't.
The truth is that what anyone else thinks of us is none of our business.
Our appearance, our body, skin, hair - no-one else's business
The ways we spend our time, working inside or outside the home or both, our hobbies, activities, passions - no-one else's business
The choices we make about children, caring, family - no-one else's business
It's hard to let go of the idea that we need that external approval. We've all spent years being told it's vital. But it is possible.
Through meditation, we can begin to set ourselves free from it - and fly without it.
