Part of being whole, of being part of a much larger universality, is also accepting ourselves as already whole. There’s so much ‘you’re broken babes but I can fix you’ nonsense being hammered around out there in wellness as well as, ‘you’re already perfect love yourself’ messaging. It’s well-intentioned but can also be really unhelpful. One message says we need to do more in a frenzy, the other says do nothing at all.
What if instead we kept the learning, the curiosity, but took it gently and accepted that within this process, we must also accept our limitations, our challenges, with the entire thing, and with ourselves. Rather than get to that saturation point where we wail ‘I hate self-development’ (has been known to be me over the years), or we just give up on all types of self-care/growth/participation – we can instead take the middle path through it. This means reducing our books, our podcasts, our overwhelm, and taking each helpful piece very slowly, integrating it, and finding our truth within it.
