I believe that being vulnerable is a virtue in relationships. But I've heard and read that sharing your vulnerability is so uncomfortable and unnerving that taking actions to be vulnerable must be thought out well in advance. We think we should be vulnerable with only certain people or in intimate situations.

In a quest to achieve my highest best I have decided to rid myself of this idea completely. Being vulnerable does not mean I must share my deepest secrets with every person I meet. Instead I am striving to express my vulnerability in many areas of my life and below I provide some ideas on how you can start to include this idea more in your own life.
