What are you avoiding, resisting, or hoping will somehowtake care of itself? In today’s episode, Michelle explores the idea of mind imbalances and what happens when ignorance, denial, complacency, or avoidance keeps us from facing something in our lives. Sometimes we know exactly whatneeds our attention, but we bury our heads in the sand because dealing with it feels uncomfortable, overwhelming, or inconvenient.Whether it’s a difficult decision, a needed change, anunhealthy situation, a responsibility we’ve been avoiding, or even taking better care of ourselves, coming back into balance begins with being willing to look at what’s actually happening. Michelle encourages us to move beyond labelsand judgment and instead get curious about where we may be abdicating responsibility for our own lives. Awareness gives us the opportunity to stop avoiding what’s in front of us, take responsibility for what is ours, and make a different choice.Questions or comments? I’d love to hear from you!
