"The greatest gift you can give your children is to heal yourself." ~ Gabor Mate
Choosing to engage in activities that challenge us, that stretch our limits, and push us beyond our comfort zones is a powerful way to transcend trauma and transform our lives. When we deliberately face discomfort and undertake tasks that are difficult, we begin to dismantle the barriers that trauma has erected within us. Each morning, by doing something hard—whether it be physical exercise, a challenging mental task, or an act of vulnerability—we initiate an upward spiral of growth and resilience. This practice not only builds our strength and confidence but also becomes a cornerstone in how we lead our lives, fostering a state of grace and empowerment. By embracing discomfort, we cultivate the inner fortitude to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and authentic existence.
