A Rocking Boat...

I am in gratitude for the awareness and opportunity to press in. It is so easy when we hit a rough patch to shut down, withdraw or throw those old walls back up. Pressing into the situation, holding fast, being love even when we are on the verge of tears goes against how most have us have been conditioned and raised. It takes a paradigm shift to press into a situation instead of run from it or throw our defense mechanisms up. How about you.... when the boat starts to rock and the water gets rough what do you do? Get defensive? Make excuses? Lash out and try to hurt the them before they hurt you more? Do you see the pattern? The only way to get yourself out of it is to purposely and with intention press into the challenge or issue...running from it, making excuses for it or hiding behind it only continues the circle and deteriorates from the inside out. Will you join me and work on pressing in instead?
