Ep 27 We love comfort, maybe too much
Hey my Wreckage Clearers! in this episode we discuss how comfort keeps up stuck. It keeps us bound to the same level of life. The same routine. The same behaviors. The familiar. The known. We all have vices and or something we escape toward to bring us comfort. It could be food, sex, drugs, alcohol, or it could be our default behaviors. Such as yelling, screaming, shutting down when we are triggered. These certain behaviors give us a sense of comfort. But what if we became too comfortable? Even in darkness our eyes can adjust. Are we becoming to comfortable in the darkness? Well I explain to you how in the uncomfortable is how I was finally able to see light and look within and began to clear the wreckage. In that darkness and in that discomfort somehow It became familiar and I became comfortable with the darkness. It wasn't until it all became really uncomfortable, that there was a chance for change and a glimmer of hope. Maybe it is time for us to realize that the discomfort is there to help us evolve and grow and produce wings and turn into a butterfly.
