Being Present with Your Vulnerabilities

As I get older, I find myself more vulnerable to things…physical stress, emotional stress, environmental stress, financial stress.

Maybe you relate.

When I was younger, I could do most anything I wanted. I could bend, walk, dance, etc., and all I did was enjoy the movement. Now, it’s a little different…especially while I continue to figure out how to detox and heal from mold exposure for the past far too many years.

…and who knew I was so vulnerable to THAT! Evidently my genetics for one.

While I’m not going to go into it, sometimes it’s comforting to know that it wasn’t anything that I deliberately caused and that some things just happen because you are born with a particular set of genetics that make you vulnerable and you just happen to put yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time for far too long.

Whatever your current vulnerabilities are, I want to invite you to look at whether or not you’re intimately aware of them and what you do when you notice them.

Personally I have noticed over the past many months that I am becoming much more self-compassionate and I have found myself tending to give myself more loving pep talks…especially on the days that follow not enough sleep or experiencing a certain set of uncomfortable physical clues.

Have a listen and tell me what you think? We all have vulnerabilities and all I have to say is that it’s good to recognize that that’s what they are and learn to give yourself a break, love yourself more and wrap your arms around yourself for self-hugs far more often.

I offer you presence in all things. Thanks for being here…I appreciate you and always remember that our presence IS our biggest present!
