MORE HEART - LESS PUSH

I was reminded of one of my favourite Brene Brown quotes this week, 'Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up when we have no control over the outcome'. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒบ

I have a vivid memory of hungrily devouring Brene's books when they first came out. I would sit curled up in bed underlining all of my favourite phrases, savoring in her research on vulnerability, shame and courage. โœจ๐Ÿ’ซ Her books were a wonderful buffet for my incessant appetite on understanding the human psyche. ๐ŸŽ†

I had a vulnerable moment this week when my usual rhythm of going for a swim didn't go as planned. ๐Ÿ˜Š There was just no way my body felt to go and I felt myself experience this internal battle of whether I 'should' push through. ๐Ÿ’ช How often do we persuade ourselves when we're not feeling it to 'suck it up', 'push through', 'go hard' or 'not give up'? ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒป

I surrendered into my female energy of being. Despite the initial emotional wobble of thinking I should be moving my body, I found myself reading a book on our couch outside in the sunshine and it was pure bliss. ๐ŸŒˆ

I have found that when we are in our natural biological flow, life flows, just like nature. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ When the whole ecosystem is supporting itself, everything is aligned and everything in it thrives. ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฒ Similarly, this is the same in family. It is so helpful to understand one another's natural rhythms in a home.

Can you easily surrender to your natural alignment? ๐Ÿค Here are a few places you could explore:

* When does your body naturally feel to go to sleep? Does it love to sleep in or wake up early? ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ด

* What exercise works for your body? Do you love a structure with exercise? Or do you prefer to exercise when your body feels to? ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

*Do you love to cook, clean and do it all yourself? Or do you love the support of cleaners, babysitters, food that's easy to prepare?

When you become aware of the spaces where you feel you 'have to' push through, it can be fun to explore what other possibilities there are that you naturally align with. Happy exploring! ๐Ÿ’–๐ŸŒˆ
