I had an incredible experience last week in the Mama Glow doula training.
One thing I noticed during all the classes was how comfortable I felt to be myself, to meet my needs. To be human. We weren’t just allowed to move, stretch, eat, nurse babies, etc throughout the hours of classes each day but we were encouraged to do so.
There was so much ease to the experience because we didn’t have to set aside our needs or who we are.
Being human was not only allowed but encouraged.
And, it got me thinking about how many times our ‘humanness’ can feel like an inconvenience.
If you need rest…
If you’re hungry…
If you feel sadness or anger or grief…
If your body changes…
If you need help or support…
If your child needs fed…
If you need a break…
If you need to cry…
If you need to stretch or move…
If you’re learning…
If you need to unplug…
If you’re injured, sick, healing…
If you’re discovering who you are…
If you’re growing…
Have you ever felt like that very human experience was holding you back? Hindering you?
Today I want to offer you a gentle affirmation to help you when that comes up: My humanness is not an inconvenience. My humanness is my superpower.
When you practice this, what shifts for you?
