When was the last time you got vulnerable with yourself?
In this episode I talk about how important it is to lean into what we are *really* experiencing and feeling. In a world where it's becoming easier to deflect and numb out, we need to get brave enough to check in with ourselves on an intimate and vulnerable level.
Quote from Melody Beattie:
"We need only allow ourselves to feel vulnerable enough to feel hurt, when that’s appropriate, and take responsibility for our feelings, behaviors, and what we need to do to take care of ourselves. We don’t have to analyze or justify our feelings. We need to feel them, and try not to let them control our behavior.
Maybe our pain is showing us we need to set a boundary; maybe it’s showing us we’re going in a wrong direction; maybe it’s triggering a deep healing process.
It’s okay to feel hurt; it’s okay to cry; it’s okay to heal; it’s okay to move on to the next feeling, when it’s time. Our willingness and capacity to feel hurt will eventually be matched by our willingness and capacity to feel joy."
