Babs' personal trajectory
As most of you know, I didn't always have an easy time this year. Because I greatly appreciate your involvement, I want to share my story with you. And maybe someone will recognize something in my story and you will want to know how I dealt with it.
I realized that I was always trying to meet the expectations of others, to satisfy everyone. But what I forgot was that I also had to satisfy myself. I forgot about my own needs, my own desires and also my own pain. As a working mother of four children, I was always concerned with taking care of others. I wanted to be the perfect mother, a hard working entrepreneur and loving partner. I always wanted to be there for others, always solving the problems, always helping. But somewhere underneath all this caring and dedication, I felt a repressed sadness. A sadness that I did not express, because I had to be strong because everything had to go on and I was an important linchpin. I thought.
This behavior and my way of doing things came from my own unconscious beliefs, from experiences I had gone through, including from the time of my dance training, and which had shaped me. I had learned to put away my emotions, to always keep going, to never give in to dissatisfaction. But now, at this point in my life, I could no longer avoid it. Grief was surfacing and I could no longer ignore it. I realized that I could no longer continue to dismiss myself. I had to acknowledge myself, and give myself more attention and love. And that was very big and difficult for me. But it was also liberating, because by acknowledging this, I could also begin to heal.
I slowly but surely began to take steps toward self-love and self-acceptance. I learned to set boundaries, to say no when something became too much. I learned to choose for myself, to put my own needs first. And slowly but surely I felt the pain easing, felt myself getting stronger.
Now, looking back on that period, I am grateful for the lessons I have learned so far. I am grateful for the people who have supported me and shown me that I can be there, with everything that presents itself. And I hope I can inspire others to also acknowledge their own pain or sadness, to choose for themselves and to heal. Because we all deserve to be happy, to put ourselves first. We deserve to be free of repressed feelings and to embrace ourselves with love and care.
Over the past two years I have taken many courses on personal development, self love and self care. Each time I felt I wanted to do something with this. Trainings that have shaped me and helped me such as Breath work, Theta healing, Trauma release, Cacao facilitator and inner essence journey facilitator. I have received many tools that are helpful to heal and grow. I experienced it myself and discovered that many of us have similar challenges. Because I would like to share this valuable development, I have created a separate website for this. Here you can find everything in the field of Love & Care. And to make it easy, the website is called babswille.nl.
It's a beautiful addition to everything I'm working on and something I'm very eager to share and bring out into the world, because I know we all need love and care.
Love & Peace,
Babs Wille
