Spiritual Practice? Or Escape Hatch?
Thank you for naming “the times when I’ve forced gratitude in lieu of listening to the knowing inside”.
It’s this self-imposed incongruity that rubs like a cheap seam.
Thank you for sharing- the slow work of learning to trust yourself is beautiful, important work!
Ha! Yes I like that analogy! It's exactly like a cheap seam.
I've known to weaponize my gratitude as a reason that I can & should be doing more when what I really need is rest!
Absolutely! It's one of the ways we ignore our body and push ourselves into performing society's expectations. Such a good catch on yourself!
