I feel as though I should… but I have to remember should only exists on paper in my opinion. If rest is needed, take it. Realizing what you need when you need it is a part of being yourself.  I continue to learn how difficult it is to  do what is in the quote below. The more we learn about ourselves through education and introspection, the more triggers and trauma we find. So we analyze, learn, practice and integrate. After that we discover a new self with greater power and potential, but also a new set of previously buried triggers. The process then starts a new. So, in my opinion, being yourself is a constant process of discovery that continues on for our lives. The benefits of this life long journey is that the more trauma we heal from the more power we receive. While we’re lightening ourselves from those energetic burdens we free up more ene...
