How To Spark Your Zeal When You Feel Ashamed
We've all been there—those moments when feeling ashamed becomes all-consuming. It moves in unexpectedly, whispering lies about who we are and what we're capable of. Whether it's a choice we regret, a word we wish we hadn't spoken, or a situation that made us feel small, feeling ashamed can leave us disconnected from our divine spark.
But here's an important reminder: feeling ashamed may be a moment, but it's not a definition of who we are.
It's a chance to pause, reflect, and reignite your zeal.
How to Shift from the Heaviness of Being Ashamed to the Lightness of Self-Compassion
HONOR THE FEELING
Start by acknowledging that feeling ashamed is part of the human experience.
Instead of pushing it away, say, “I see you. I hear you. I'm ready to understand you.”
This practice softens the edges of shame and invites healing.
RELEASE IT
Share your feelings with a trusted friend or family member. You can even shout it out loud.
By releasing it through spoken words, you diminish its power to weigh you down and create space for healing.
REWRITE THE INNER SCRIPT
Being ashamed often stems from stories we tell ourselves—stories of not being good enough or lovable enough.
Let your words guide you back to your inner spark.
Write yourself a letter of self-love and gratitude with the Zeal Letter.
Feeling ashamed doesn't have to dim your fire. It can be the very spark that calls you back to yourself, stronger and more aligned.
Trust that every stumble is part of your divine journey toward living a life of zeal.
