If you are uncomfortable — in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused — you don’t have a problem, you have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right. You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.
– Glennon Doyle, Untamed –
Hello, fellow friends on the path,
Man oh man, this quote has been speaking to me this past month after I read this book. It’s been a while since I read a book and felt as though it was speaking to me in THIS moment.
My word for 2021 is vulnerability. I tend to keep my cards very close to my heart so as not to appear imperfect, wounded, broken. What I’ve learned is that it creates separation with those dear to me when I don’t share.
It’s been an uncomfortable month but here’s hoping that I let go of trying to make it easy for others and myself and instead just breath into where I am without always trying to fix it.
So I’ve come back to my meditation practice. I’m trying to sit every day and quite simply ask myself, “How do you feel right now?” I’m trying not to fix it or avoid it by cleaning the sh*t out of my house. Instead just sitting with all the hard human emotions I seem to be feeling right now.
All this to say, the 30-day challenge has created the time and space in my daily life to reflect on what’s been arising for me.
On a lighter note…
Today is the LAST DAY of our Virtual Yoga Challenge! Congratulations to everyone who showed up and shared feedback in the PWC Apps and the Facebook Group.
WE DID IT!
For everyone who stuck with it and completed the full 30-days, please fill out this short survey to be entered to win one of the prizes from our partners.
