Breaking through the loop of death to cross the threshold into the Beyond takes a tremendous effort.  

 One of the biggest challenges is that when we face adversity, it’s very easy to fall into the old habit of self criticism, self blame, anger, judgment, avoidance, numbness, or whatever your particular habit is when you’re in a tough spot and feeling bad.  

These last many months have been both amazing for me and wildly challenging. There have been many, many moments when I am facing really hard, uncomfortable, feelings.  Whether it be having to step away from a relationship and know that there are many people hurting because of my decision, or feeling rejected by a friend, or being given honest, direct, and inconvenient feedback at work, there have been huge opportunities for me to do the same thing I’ve been doing my whole life. Feel bad about myself. Go quiet. Feel shame.  Feel like not enough. Feel lonely and incapable.  
 
 Wow, that’s hard to write and feel. But it’s such a familiar pattern in my life, but finally I see it. And I can feel the temptation of going down that road. But, I’m deeply committed to finding a different way. And I’m challenging you, offering you the same opportunity. In this episode, I share my journey and offer insights into how you can do the same!
