I’ve been learning to sit in the discomfort of life rather than run from it.
When things get uncomfortable, I tend to keep myself busy using work to avoid facing my shadows.
This season feels different.
Life is asking for a lot right now, and my tank is running low. Instead of rushing to the finish line, I’m learning to give myself space to feel, to slow down, and to meet myself where I am.
That has looked like returning to my mat multiple times a day, and carving out time for myself, even when it feels like the “wrong” thing to do.
My nervous system is asking for silence in the noise.
Unravelling an entire life has been quite the journey. I’m navigating this season with patience and compassion for myself, and for others.
Alan Watts says the illusion is that change takes time.
What feels slow, uncomfortable, or messy is actually happening in this very moment.
Every breath, every pause, every choice to stay present is the transformation unfolding.
A gentle reminder: slow down. Give yourself permission to rest.
Many of us went through a massive shedding in 2025, you’re allowed to begin 2026 at a softer pace.
