Black belt lesson - Humility. I'm ready to start again and again, as many times as it takes

May 19, 2024 • Shantelle Thompson • Season 3 • Episode 19

Black belt lesson - humility.

As I make space to create a more reflective practise and to go deeper with 'Dadirri', I begin to create more space to sit with myself as a human-being in this season.

I realise how much I punish myself for not being who and where I think I 'should' or 'could' be. And yes there is 100% some accountability that needs to be had here, and the cost of not acting on my 'nudges/whispers' sooner means there are definitely prices to pay.

However, beating myself up is only holding myself back even more. So it is time to take a different approach and meeting myself with humiltiy and a willingness to 'begin again' as many times as it takes to learn the lesson, so I can create growth and progress from here.

I hope you enjoy this yarn and take something from it. Big love and gratitude Shantelle
