Things That Make You Go Eew

In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.

We all do it.

Cringe when we think about something from the past that really makes us go eeew. Maybe we’re still super embarrassed about a mishap a decade ago, angry because we remained silent, still holding a grudge from that last breakup, or hating ourselves because of how we’ve shown up in the past.

That’s me right now. Spending my days berating myself for my holiday hell behavior. I’ve worked so hard to change, yet I fell prey to my anger, bitterness, resentment, and reverted back to the way I always act around my family- like a depressed, snarky biotch.

Granted this happened in a year where compassion needed to be front and center, yet it is still an experience of my life, and I have to embrace it. Polarity is the gift that being on this planet gives you. All the things that feel good, and all the things that don’t. We get this gift so we can discern what we like and want in life versus what we’d rather not have show up.

It’s much easier to discover what you like after being in an experience that clearly shows you what you don’t. Discernment assists us in growing and expanding. Own it.
