We’ve been in a place where we’ve experienced a lot of “undoing”, whether related to belief systems, assumptions, judgements or opinions. In the course of history, I imagine that there are cycles of this over and over again. When hard things happen - we start to question all of the things around us. Sometimes that happens subconsciously. We may not even realize it’s happening. When we enter into a sort of trauma mode, or when we get “squeezed”, all of the random thoughts that have been floating around gather and come to the surface. When we get squeezed, sometimes we don’t like what comes out. It’s a refinement process. When we have hard things happen to us or see hard things happening around us, it’s a wake up call. A reality check. It challenges us to think about why we’re here, what really matters, who we are, and maybe what we want to change. I think we’ve been through a lot of that in the last few years as a society. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.
The point here is, not only do we have all of the “noise” happening around us in the world, in our local community and friend circles, managing our lives, but then we have this internal “noise” that bubbles to the surface sometimes more than others, and I think it’s something we don’t give enough credit. It impacts us more than we recognize. And when we try to ignore it, it doesn’t go away. What’s your internal noise? What are the questions that have been bubbling up to the surface of your mind? Oftentimes, stating them can be the hardest part.
