Yes, everything happens for a reason. Everything we attract is exactly what we need, even if sometimes it’s uncomfortable, even violent.
It’s never by chance.
But before diving into this perspective and pulling out our detective magnifying glass 🕵️♀️ to identify the how and why so we can move forward, evolve, or whatever:
➡ Let's welcome the emotion.
Let the part of us that’s not okay with this express itself.
Make space for anger, frustration, disappointment, pain, sadness, fear, resentment, shame, dread, disgust, terror, ...
🛑 Too often, we switch into "no, no, but I'm fine" mode and forget to welcome the emotions that manifested inside us.
And when we don’t welcome them...
We bury them.
And when we bury them...
They settle within us, crystallized.
Our body is a wonderful vehicle, it will absorb, store, to protect us from the emotions we don’t want to feel, up to a certain point...
So out of love for ourselves, for our body, and for the part of us that’s taking the hit or struggling: let’s welcome it fully and embrace it 🤍
Only then can we explore what life has offered us as an experience, to understand its meaning and know what to do with it all.
I write this and reread it, because I too need to hear what I’m sharing 🙏
Yes, there’s always a beautiful pearl, but let’s give ourselves the time to curse having to open that shell! 🐚
