“He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures"

View of Self Determination
When you use your voice to set yourself apart from others you self advocate.
When you speak even if it’s unclear, shaky and or undetermined you make way for your perspective to be displayed. In order to collaboratively create , build and grow together one must truly understand themselves and roles played. Self determination does not reference separation in the physical although it can be , if the interactions are impeding self determination . Overall It promotes self love , acceptance and supports the collective community.
Self determination is the creation and announcement of one’s identity, essence , beliefs , goals , wants and desires. It focuses on self to achieve, to learn and appreciate one’s self for who we are at core and what we bring to family ,community and collective.
Steps Of Self Determination
- Sit with self for at least 30 mins a day split into increments of 10 mins. ( ie . 10 morning , 10 midday etc). During this time close your eyes and ask yourself what is calling for me to create, learn, release or understand today for my highest good? Wait , relax and wait for the answer through verbal, thought , image confirmation.
- Set the intention to focus on what came up for you in your sitting session. Incorporating it into your routine and responsibilities of the day.
- Flow with the day , by allowing room for your determinations to come through, grow and manifest.
To see yourself is to live -Ebony Hicks
