Are you 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 yourself or 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 about yourself?⁣
⁣
I've been in my own cocoon in what feels like the last two months. Layers upon layers.⁣
⁣
Nothing ever goes away until it teaches you what you need to learn and receive.⁣

⁣
The saying "what you resist persist is real.⁣
⁣
So often we run away, avoid and react to this experience "not feeling good" - but when we're willing to lean into it, hold space for it and explore the opportunity it wants to present, we can learn new edges about ourselves.⁣
⁣
Take your time.⁣
⁣
It's not about "how fast can I get through this?"...it's about "how willing and able am I to trust myself in this experience so that something bigger can move through me?"⁣
⁣
Going into a cocoon doesn't need to be heavy or isolating.⁣
⁣
It gets to be giving yourself the space to explore behind closed doors.⁣
⁣
Who are you when no one is watching? Who are you when you process internally before outwardly speaking? 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.⁣
⁣
Your truth will be shared and seen in the way you move, and in the way that you show up.⁣
⁣
Let go of distractions and be with you.⁣
⁣
A distraction I recognized recently for me was social media. I noticed how unhealthy patterns were showing up with the time I was spending on here and how my body was responding to it.⁣
⁣
Taking a week away revealed so much more to me than I could even anticipate. More layers upon layers in such a positive way.⁣
⁣
Going inward is powerful. It's exciting.⁣
⁣
I sat in the mirror looking at myself for three hours straight. No phone. No music. Just me.⁣
⁣
I double dare you to try it! ✨🤍
