Welcome your every day teachers

Have you ever felt multiple unexpected events come at you, one after another ..same day, same week !!!

Well, one fine Saturday weeks back, I was comforted by an amazing 18 year old. A great time invested with someone who was listening to me and sharing her compassionate heart and ear.

It was one of those days when all events happen at once bringing up insecurities, traumas , triggers and a feeling of "enough... can't deal with it right now, alone!"

I was at the mechanic with a huge oncoming bill, had just come back from time spent abroad (using savings for some repairs), had not had access to my home for 5 days... and some other aspects were not going the way I would have hoped for

You may say, aren't you zen now? Well, growth is not linear, I may know some tools to support the ups and downs... yet I still hit the freeze stage when I just don't know what to do.

Have you felt like that before? What actions have you taken?

Do you journal, chat with a friend, pray, meditate, close off and go hermit?

Guess what... all of the above are ok. As we said, growth -and life- is not linear and going up and down on the day to day is perfectly OK.

Most of us tend to hide and put our "I can do it all alone" hat and go through crisis alone. My learning on that day was... chatting about the matter as I was feeling it, was a blessing, I was able to get it lit, have a recipient to acknowledge and JUST FEELING HEARD, someone was being compassionate to me.
