And the balance shifts

This time of year invites us to create harmony and beauty out of life’s endless contradictions. To find the peace and stillness within the eye of the storm.

“Life’s endless contradictions” really struck me. The balance we seek isn’t actually to make our storms stop. It’s to help us in how we feel as we experience them.

Finding balance isn’t about resolving the issue. It’s about navigating it in a healthier, more mindful way.

The attention shifts from my situation to my wellness, no matter the situation.

Harmony.

Embracing discomfort

thanks for making my life more fun and complicated

I exercised a boundary.

Now let’s work through the uncomfortable feelings, together.

I exercised a boundary.

Needed, because I was uncomfortable.

Now you are uncomfortable because of it

and I am uncomfortable in a new way.

Surprising to realize discomfort is nothing to fear

or avoid

it’s to address.

Help, please.
