Stop ‘should’-ing yourself

Shifting out of emotional survival mode requires that we feel safe + resourced enough to let go of our old coping mechanisms.

That takes more time and practice than you think. Your mind will understand it before your body is ready. You will think you’ve learned what you need led to learn to be successful before you actually have. You will probably get frustrated with yourself, or worry that you’re taking too long, or wondering why you haven’t gotten it ‘right’ yet…

You’re NOT taking too long.
You WILL figure out exactly what you need to, when you need to — destiny cannot be rushed.

In the meantime, give yourself grace, and perhaps some appreciation for all the hard work you’re putting in — it’s incredible 💜
