EP 59: What is Surrender? And How To Embody It As Someone Who Loves To Take Action All The Time


Listen Later

Yes my listeners, what on earth is surrender? We hear this a lot but do we know what this means? And for those over doers of us, this can feel sooo counter intuitive. So here I discuss some simple steps you can take, to slow down, and learn how to surrender. I also discuss the challenges of letting go and the importance of finding balance between action and rest. I share my own, and ongoing personal struggle with being a doer and the impact of burnout on my well-being. I also emphasize the need for self-care, recognizing when to stop, and the role of grief in the healing process. The discussion provides insights into how to navigate the journey of surrendering while maintaining a sense of control and connection to oneself.
