Holding Space

As life continues to roll on, and I’m faced with more and more change and growth, I am learning that the triggers, the “moments,” will always be there. So, we will constantly be challenged with holding space for ourselves, while we are present and hold energy for the others in our life. After the pandemic, hard conversations became even more difficult and confusing. We got out of practice. We became dormant in the parts of communication that are critical. Such as eye contact, tone of voice, etc. So, do I believe that what others say about us, or to us, or with us, is a projection of themselves and where they’re at in their growth? Absolutely!! It is imperative we do our work and know what we’re putting out into the world. But, it is also crucial for us to observe and ascertain what we’re bringing to the table. Communication and relationships take work to maintain. And to stay healthy. So, don’t forget to connect to yourself. Everything does start with the SELF. But don’t forget to be gentle with yourself as you do so. Remember, we are here to learn, and NO ONE is perfect. We’re not meant to be. And never will be. So, be easy, gentle and breathe into the learning. It’s not going away. Just a little insight on what’s in my heart and mind this morning…
