Resistance is often an interesting place for reflection. In mindfulness, rather than fighting against it, we can gently turn toward it with curiosity. What is it trying to tell us?

Pausing within nature on yesterdays walk

Sometimes you can feel a little lost in life (there can be many signposts but you still don’t know where your going) or maybe you are experiencing a time when difficulties seem to just not let up. We often turn to others for reassurances, support and understanding. It’s so lovely to feel you have the support of others however it’s important to know how to support yourself. Building up your own self-compassion bank is helpful because the one person who is there 24/7 is you. It’s helpful to ask yourself what it is I need to hear right now? If it’s still hard to come up with supportive words think about what advice you would give to someone going through the same struggles/difficulties as you? You will know the right words because a softening and gentleness will be felt within the body; these words can act as a comforting blanket that can be wrapped around you whenever you need it. If words are not the comfort you need how about offering yourself a little hug or place a hand over your heart or hold your hand like you would someone you cared dearly about. Self-compassion can take a little practice you are not alone if you don’t feel anything when you start out but what we practice grows stronger gradually over time you may find if comes a little more naturally. Practicing self patience, trust and understand are way more helpful than frustration, anger or pessimism where does that get you? Do you feel better? 🙏
Find the little gaps of lightness in life and know that there is never a wrong direction we can learn and grown through what we go through.

“There is so much baggage we burden ourselves with over the years that keeps us from seeing things the way they are. Some baggage we carry with us for a single thought, some for years and some for a lifetime” - Bill Porter

What emotional baggage are you bringing into the present moment, what is weighing you down? Unpacking the emotional baggage is no easy task (I am definitely still going through mine).
When this occurs I trust in my mindfulness practice to help me navigate into calmer waters. This process doesn’t instantly happen and it can look and feel messy but sometime going through it and feeling it helps to move through the rocky times. So if your feeling weighed down by any emotional baggage know you are not alone sometimes things pass quickly sometimes it takes a while and sometimes you think it’s gone but months later it comes back round. You may have to try to put that baggage down again and again and again because sometimes the brain just doesn’t want to give up without a fight it can be so entrenched in your psyche and neural pathways but the more you practice mindful awareness and compassion practices the less power the emotions can have over you; what once could have upset you for days dissolves in a shorter time and you move forward.

In each one of us there is an inner child that wants to be seen and have fun! Why do people stop playing when they grow up?
Have a go find a simple game or something you loved to do when you were young and have some fun. Notice how it makes you feel and let go of any stories telling you something other than enjoy!
