Episode 129 | There's No "One Right Way" To Be ALL The Time

Inner Divine Podcast

It’s so easy to get caught up in the trap of “why am I feeling this way”, “I don’t like this feeling”, “when will it go away”—especially in such a tumultuous year. ⁣Exhibit A: 2020 😣⁣ ⁣ But the more uncomfortable feelings that pop up, the more I’m discovering that there’s a big difference between what is “natural” and what is “preferred”. ⁣ ⁣ Here’s what I’ve discovered. Every single time a feeling hits, whatever that feeling is... is completely natural. But *because* you have something to compare it to—a “preferred” feeling, let’s say—you dismiss the state you’re currently in—or worse, you label it as wrong or bad.⁣ ⁣ There is no “one right way” to be, do, or feel ALL the time. The more we allow ourselves space and compassion to feel what we’re feeling without trying to figure it out or slap some justification onto it, the more we open up to the full range of the human experience. Because, in reality, that’s what we’re really here for—the experience.⁣ Join THE SOULFLOW COLLECTIVE, a playground for your soul.
