Too gentle?

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I have been recently re-reminded that while listening to our bodies is necessary, sometimes they need a wake up call.

Besides just my recent sinus/allergy battle that has been kicking my butt, I had several other awakenings this year where I am now seeing perhaps I have been too gentle with myself.

Now, I do believe we go through cycles and I was in one where being more gentle with myself was necessary. And then perhaps I even forgot how sometimes pushing into the discomfort is where I can come alive.

It’s such a curious thing. Listening to ourselves and knowing when to push and when to not.

Now, of course I am not ashamed or upset or feel like I “should” have realized/remembered this earlier. I needed that gentle time and now I am ready to remember.

I am remembering the bliss that comes when moving through discomfort.
