A lot of people are starting to reintegrate back into the world, which means that we’re starting to feel the strain of obligation creep up on us again.
Something that I have observed is that a lot of people are realizing that they feel out of alignment with some of those obligations and expectations to go back to.
There might be resistance in how you go about conducting business, spending time with particular people, dressing a certain way, or having to do certain activities. No matter what it is, there might be something that feels off.
One of the reasons for that might be because you had so much space from those situations, people, or ways of doing things that you’ve even had time to realize they don’t jive with you. Sometimes we do things not because we enthusiastically choose it for ourselves, but because we feel it's ‘just what we have to do’.
I would even say that a lot of things we do as humans are performative. Meaning, we play the role we think we need to play to fit the scenario, even though that role isn’t actually who we are.
It's important for all of us to check in through this period of reintegration and make sure we’re doing things we want, spending time with people we enjoy and most importantly, honouring who we are and how we want to show up in the world.
In this week's episode we dive into…
How some of us have ‘unbecome’ who we thought we had to be during the last year and half - and why it feels weird going ‘back’ How social expectations and norms require all of us to perform a role, over being who we genuinely are Why we need to listen to the areas of our lives we feel residence around going back to
Be you my friend, because the world needs all that you are.
I believe in you!
