Have you gotten excited about where you are in life only to hear those quiet, critical inner voices chime in and rain on your progress? What is THAT all about?
Is it our brains trying to keep us safe and comfortable, which means not really growing or expanding, or the acknowledgment that OLD, REALLY OLD messages from early in life have seeped into our cells and are still present?
It can be BOTH of these and more! The more we grow and evolve, the more determined our critter brain becomes to keep us exactly where we are. The more comfortable we get in our own skin and with our full, whole, complete selves, the more uncomfortable people in our lives can become because we are growing, changing, and shifting.
Can we arrive at a place of taking expectations, messages, and assumptions from others as guides instead of the law of how it has (or is "supposed") to be?
