Ep 167: Frustration and cultivating patience in the midst of stalled progress

Know that feeling? The one where progress feels like a dance of two steps forward, one back? Or maybe even one forward, eight back? Yep, I hear ya. Today I'm talking about this through the lens of a new camera I bought for the SelfKind Hub ... what can the frustration teach us about our movement, self-care and self-kindness practices? Lots!What you’ll hear in this episode:> why instant results aren’t the goal (or even a reasonable expectation)> why it's valuable to change your perception from there being a single outcome to ‘chase’ - ‘being healed/fixed/done’ -to recognising that the pathway is far less linear and being human is far less tidy> why you're not broken and how recognising this truth and embracing your humanity can lead to more self-compassion, kindness and resilience in the face of challenge.Listen in and then come share your thoughts with me on Instagram !
