Acceptance

Good afternoon! Photo by Toa Heftiba on Unsplash Eighth episode of the Underbelly Project podcast. Acceptance. For today’s episode, I spoke with my yoga instructor, Justine Kaufmann. For some reason, I thought acceptance would be easy. I’m pretty laid back, aren’t I? Well, this was quite a challenge. Fun, but a challenge!: What we talked about: * First, self-acceptance is your birthright! * Second, it may not ever be easy to move into acceptance, but with practice it becomes more natural. * Third, acceptance becomes “home” for you. Where you feel your best; where you move toward naturally. Justine shared her journey into a world of self-acceptance and what a pleasure it was to go there with her. Notes: * Justine’s website * I mentioned this book: The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller. * I mentioned an article about the 7 countries that have the best Coronavirus outcomes. to be clear, I think it’s a feminine energy or spirit that’s at an imbalance in some areas of our lives. And, you know, in other areas, there’s a masculine imbalance. I think an acceptance of both and a bit of rebalancing is in order. Onward to Trust! Look for a couple blog posts, the Monday morning newsletter, and a podcast episode with Deidre Mclaughlin, Registered Clinical Counselor and sexual health educator. The Underbelly Project: CrossFit (or Yoga!) for your emotional strength and flexibility.
