"Just because your gut told you something was wrong doesn't mean you have to figure out why."
Well, shit.
I'm sitting at my desk. On the screen in front of me, my therapist is making some fantastic points. By now my eyebrows must look ridiculous, all raised up like that. It's a fitting expression for what I'm experiencing, though.
So I start nodding slowly, still fidgeting with the ring on my left hand with the thumb and index finger of my right. I let my gaze drift a bit , and think over what she'd actually just said:
Your gut's the check-engine light.
It doesn’t need to be the mechanic, too.
What are you struggling with that isn't yours to solve? Really think about it—there's something you picked up that wasn't yours. That's ok, noticing's the whole game.
Let it go.
onward.
