Pent-up anger vs. inner peace

Filed Under Freedom Challenge, Stretching the comfort zone | 8 Comments

Over the last several months, I've been hearing myself, my friends, and my clients speak about freedom…freedom from limiting thoughts and behaviors, freedom to be more of who we want to be.  For me, my exploration of the theme of freedom has led to my own desire to let loose a little more, to rekindle my heart's sparkle, to become rejuvenated, revitalized, re-enthused.  That's likely what started the thought of having a Freedom Challenge.  Challenging myself to stretch my comfort zone  bit by bit isn't easy - if it were easy and safe and comfy, gosh, I would have done it long ago!  

So this week I've stretched my comfort zone several times, been scared, been angry, wanted to burrow into a safe, comfy spot.  My dear friend, Neysa, upon hearing about my anger teased that the "Inner Peace Activist" wouldn't have any entries if I was experiencing that much anger.  Ahh, but that is part of my freedom - and inner peace - to allow myself to experience all that pent up anger as being okay.  Not comfortable, but okay.  A deep breath.  A sense of freedom.
