We typically avoid hurtful things, emotions that are difficult & uncomfortable. And that is 100% normal, it's what we do to protect ourselves from harm.

BUT, I want you to look at it from a different perspective.  Notice that when we avoid the hard things, we are putting greater energy into the avoidance than we would be if we just dealt with it.

Keep listening for my explanation & why stepping into the hardness of that difficult thing is worth it.
