Happy Monday! ☀️ .


I write this with the intention that your week is off to a fresh start and if not, maybe this practice will help you get there 😉! .
.

If you didn’t catch last weeks post- check it out for part 1 of this #empowered #practice ❣️
.

. 
If you did complete part 1, grab your 📒 because today we’re diving in to each of the instances in which you noticed strong emotions arising (ANY emotion is great grounds for practice). .
.

As you review the first experience you’ve written down, ask yourself the question: why did this experience cause me to feel ____ ? And give yourself some time and space to dig- it may not be the first response that arises. In fact, what you may find is that the first response is a defense mechanism- a rationalization or justification for WHY you responded in a particular way (e.g., “I was only trying to help; I wanted him/her to have the best experience possible”). As you sit with the first response- get really honest with yourself- is that actually true? Perhaps you notice there are other intentions/desires beneath the surface (e.g., I don’t trust x to make his/her own decisions; I feel really uncomfortable when I’m not in control of the situation; I want to be seen as kind/perfect/selfless”).
​.

.

Unearthing our subconscious motivations isn’t always fun; it can kind of feel like 😣🤢! But this isn’t an exercise in self criticism or judgement, simply AWARENESS ♥️. “When we know better we can do better”- right? So be gentle and compassionate with yourself as you explore these, trying to remain a curious observer- notice the themes and patterns and if/how they are serving you.
.

.

As you dive into this practice, I’d love to hear any aha’s you experience so please share below if you feel too!! 🤗 And thank you for doing the work!

Until next week... sending you tremendous love and light (and happy New Moon!)
