Thank you! We each have such a wealth of internal reserves of power to tap into. But when we’re doing a live together and taking some global breaths together I can FEEL it!
Beautiful quote! Agreed with Jessica; thanking anxiety for wanting to keep us safe, then telling it we checked into the alarm and we *are* safe. Then we continue to move forward in the daily practice to trust ourselves. You are not alone on that challenging and worthwhile journey. 💚
Today I’m releasing the need to please others; to be what others expect or want me to be when it does not align with who I am or what I need. Sometimes this is based on the desire to please others or impress them, and other times it is based on others expecting me to be whatever version of myself from the past which no longer matches who I am today or the direction I’m heading. My sense of self is not determined by the perspective, framework, or acceptance of others.
I am with you- sometimes I need the lower impact options and I am shifting the perspective of its another choice or “different” as Marnie says, not better or worse. Listening to your body is probably what has kept you going so consistently without injury- THAT is a huge accomplishment!
