Allowing space for layered emotional experiences can feel overwhelming at times. For example, sometimes I wonder about the purpose of all of my efforts and energy. In some moments I feel very aligned and fulfilled, in other moments I feel as if my work is not yielding outcomes the way that I envisioned them materializing. These are the times when questions ring louder in my ear and very little feels solid or meaningful. For various reasons, feelings such as these surfaced this morning. Previously, these moments were layered with judgement, criticism, and anxiety. Today I am grateful for the ability to make space for complex emotional experiences as well as thoughts. I am grateful for every part of me even when I don’t fully understand. #gratitude
