Did you know that if you grew up in sustained traumatic conditions some of your most potent and powerful growth will come from simple things like knowing your basic human rights and standing for them always, understanding what you need in order to feel safe in your relationships and environment and making choices that ensure your safety, and — here’s the kicker — choosing comfort over discomfort?
It may seem backwards because we are all told growth happens outside your comfort zone.
But when your “normal” is abuse/neglect/oppression/war/suffering, being comfortable IS uncomfortable, and so the life-altering totally uncomfortable transformation lives in making active choices to slow down, taking space, receiving, and allowing yourself to be loved well.
