Comfortable

Be careful with comfortable

Challenging moments can become frozen in the abyss of your subconscious mind.  When these things are ready to surface, who is to say what will trigger or bring awareness to the moments that may have been lodged deeply when you were too saturated to recognize their weight or to honor processing.  In noticing the impact of continued containment, you may be able to enter a time period of release.  You may find recognition of triggers placed at the most inopportune times, in everyday conversations, or in activities you had anticipated with hopefulness.

People experience difficult memories for many different reasons.  You don’t have to have had an abusive childhood, lost a spouse, battled a life threatening disease, been through divorce, or anything to this degree to have felt trauma or loss.  Being human includes a variety of emotions and experiences.  Life is not about getting by squeaky clean.

Honoring the process of bringing what is difficult into the light may mean that you will feel uncomfortable.  You may have to rock the boat and make some waves within yourself or in the external.  Someone may not like what you have to say or do to honor your process, voice, and inner light.

If inner reflection is something you’re finding more time for now or would like to explore, it could be helpful to recognize the benefit of feeling uncomfortable.  Discomfort may not be something you seek, but it may seek you for positive change; don’t avoid discomfort, if facing discomfort could ultimately grow you stronger.

With time, you may thrive and blossom because of what made you uncomfortable.
