#26 The Stormy First Draft

If we’re going to be totally honest with ourselves, then we need to state explicitly, that we human beings aren’t really wired for this kind of showing up. In fact, our natural tendency is to do whatever it takes to keep us in a state of equilibrium, of equanimity, and this is true in both the physical and emotional realms. We naturally resist anything that creates imbalance or insecurity. And so, if showing up to what we’re feeling triggers any kind of insecurity, our natural tendency will be to push it aside, to bury it, in some way to deny ourselves the opportunity to show up in full.
