Today we’re acknowledging that things can be hard, and validating this with compassion and empathy. And today we’re also acknowledging that while this is true, sometimes we can stay in our sh*t for longer than is necessary. Sometimes we can find it easier to bond over the struggle, and look for reasons why things need to be hard. Sometimes, our ego or subconscious finds ways to make life harder for ourselves, because hard is what we’ve always known. Hard can feel like home. With adrenaline and low level connection being a seemingly positive payoff for creating an ongoing cycle of “life’s hard” for ourselves, it can be hard to break the cycle. Today, I want to talk about how we can do that. I chat on:The way dysfunction and illness can be an addictive thing for us to resonate with and sit in, because they serve a sneaky function of providing us with an identity What space we could make if our identity wasn’t centred around our dysfunction, our “brokenness” and our limitationsThe way filling up our lives with what feels GOOD, can be our guiding star for pulling us out of our sh*tWhy we can be drawn to making life hard for ourselves even when it’s not necessary, and how to break the story of “things need to feel hard to feel worth it”Enjoy my loves x
