#35 The strength in our softness

Have you noticed yourself being hard on yourself? Many of us expect more of ourselves than anyone else does of us because we have internalized the voices of others that make us believe that we are not good enough. It feels like the human tendency to push ourselves to be more rather than to take a moment to acknowledge and congratulate ourselves on the entirety of our journey up until this point. In this episode we consider how we began to accumulate the armor that we wear or have worn to protect ourselves from softening. What do we consider soft? What does it mean to soften? Is it safe to surrender when we have only been taught to fight our way toward our goal? Perhaps it is time to embrace the peaceful warrior and lay down our weapons. Perhaps it is time to feel our experience instead of pretending that we do not feel anything. Find the Mothering Myself Community on Instagram: (link) and Facebook: (link)
