Finding a Way Forward: Being Enough
“I feel guilty if I don’t say yes.”
“I don’t really know who I am other than what I do for other people.”
“It’s like a gut-punch, the guilt and shame that I’m not living into the kind of life I know I am capable of.”
“Stuck doesn’t even come close to explaining it.”
Being lost from our soul-center can sound like a lot of things. It often looks like our inability to put boundaries in place that is healthy for us. It can look like being in a freeze state—what others may see as “lazy”, but is actually your nervous system screaming—”IT’S TOO MUCH!”
When we live in a world that is focused on productivity—even our healing can be another thing on the to-do list—meditation apps, stack of unread self-help books, the yoga mat collecting dust in the corner of the room—they all unconsciously affect us, like they whisper, “You’re not quite there yet..”
But—what if you already are?
What if, in this moment, you’re already enough?
Enoughness is a Spiritual Practice
Letting things be what they are is not about settling for less. Actually, it is about a reorientation to our power of choice in a world that often tells us we are powerless. Enoughness practice is about intentionality about how we focus our energy. It is choosing presence over any type of perfection, and trusting that your soul speaks, even if your schedule is a mess, or you haven’t gotten to laundry in over a week, or you feel like collapsing into despair, once again, when you open your news app.
But enoughness looks like rest, not striving. It looks like revolutionary love.
Can you allow yourself to know that this is true?
I don’t need to fix this today.
I am allowed to pause.
This small amount of peace counts.
Enoughness is the reclamation of coming home to yourself, not because you know it all, but because you’re in the middle of it all.

Listening Again
Perhaps there is a place that calls to you—where you can listen a little more deeply. It could be the sancutary of a grove of trees outside your building. It could be the bath after a long day. It could be the pause between breaths, right here, and now.
When I choose to tend to what is here, instead of chasing what is next, I invite in compassion, I invite in deeper knowing that peace is a choice. We don’t have to clamber for it, when we have it, bubbling up from within.
You could begin by asking:
What would it feel like if I could honor what it is like to be here, right now?
What am I carrying that I can lay down, even for one moment?
Where is life asking me to soften, not solve?
Companioning your soul is opening into the spaciousness of slowness, and knowign that becoming is rarely loud. It is simply allowing.
