Sometimes I wonder when my brain will switch off, reflective thinking rattles around and I’m never quite sure if I’m making any coherent sense, but we move.
This season does call us to slow down, to evaluate, we are of course in the throws of Venus Retrograde so that may be pulling up all sorts of unexpected feelings, emotions. And sometimes we’re not keen on exploring our feelings or reactions we have towards situations or people. We try to push it away, we feel guilty for feeling the way we do, it might feel too raw, revealing and vulnerable. All of these emotions are normal.
But, the never ending work calls for us to be curious, to explore what’s running underneath all of this, it doesn’t mean you have to work it all out, sometimes we’re not quite ready to do that. It could be as simple as acknowledging the feeling in the first place, asking yourself why, and then why again and again. When it starts to feel uncomfortable, a bit edgy then that’s usually where the truth lies in the answer.
I like to journal, or actually voice note myself, talk it out with myself as it were. It’s really powerful and takes the shame around the feeling, brings it to the forefront. It does help you understand yourself a bit deeper, and to see why you react in certain ways, I think it helps you to show up more authentically. We are our biggest critics, we judge ourselves so harshly, but being open to sit with the not so pleasant parts of ourselves is actually quite brave.
All of these aspects, the good, the bad and the bloody ugly, all exist in us all, so don’t beat yourself up for feeling them, just get curious because it can be very liberating and we want to be in this life with a connection to ourselves without the barriers 🤍
