There is something in the water...
I feel the subtle and not so subtle shifts, do ya feel it? Or is it just me?
Hello lovelies,
I shared about my journey this past couple of weeks with a mysterious virus (thankfully COVID-negative) that caught me up and triggered a gnarly cold sore outbreak on my face.
Since then, I have been journeying through disgust. A disgust that has been nestled in the deepest parts of my little child self that believed she was broken and not good enough.
This little girl that believed she could not trust herself and her only option was to trust those around her and she would be abandoned and rejected if she trusted herself first.
Who knew that being laid up in my bed would trigger all of this to surface.
But hence the times we are living in.
Here’s what I learned:
Embracing disgust (or whatever feeling) is actually empowering. It may take some time to feel through it, and doing it little by little can be super helpful, and there is another side to it.
Embracing these feelings and sharing them with others leads to greater intimacy with myself and others.
Greater intimacy = greater pleasure.
I am feeling the deeper transformation that is happening with our world now. I feel the shifts that are happening and the invitations to slow down and move toward the parts of ourselves that hurt. If you are feeling this too, get support. You don’t have to go it alone.
Do this work in community.
Here is a little video about intimacy that I just created:
Even though I don’t feel like I look my absolute best with the cold sore healing on my face, I can choose to show up anyway.
Intimacy does not equal perfection, or always being on, or even always showing up.
I believe intimacy is being present to what is.
Where can you show up and be present 1% more in your life?
