THE PAUSE : the master of avoidance

THE PAUSE

stop asking me to do things i am wholeheartedly avoiding

because i will continue to push it aside. i’m good at that

some call this procrastination, some call it avoidance

but the wild thing is, the things i avoid are the things i need the most

the things i avoid are where i have my breakthroughs

it triggers a feeling of relaxing-into-my-uncomfortability

where pushing through a moment of toughness gets me to the otherside

the otherside that flipping moves me

this new side is raw and filled with gratitude

it is conquering, it is bravery

it is my commitment to myself by seeing through the thing i needed most

the otherside is really ‘wow, i can’, and ‘wow, i am able’

call it confidence; i call it self-understanding

you understand yourself more when you find the edge of discomfort

you see who you are when you show up there

so heck ya - i did it and i am fully able to do it again

it’s tough, but then it quickly turns in to being alive.
