Thanks for this great piece which is helping me self-reflect.
Hmm. The stubbornness aspect and not knowing (or even understanding) whether to or, indeed, HOW to ‘let go’ in a chronically created situation is what I resonate strongly with here. And so learning to listen to my mutineer more and from this, working out what is helpful and what isn’t, feels far from straightforward. The difficult, painful process that comes from outgrowing my shell, my inevitable armour - even if it is to come back stronger - is daunting. Yet I can also imagine the release and freedom that comes with it!
I hear you Matt - it's not at all straightforward is it? Probably why most of us only really break out of our tight-fitting shells when it gets too uncomfortable to stay constricted. Or when life hits us with a complete curveball we never asked for. Yet sometimes, on the other side of the difficult, painful process of extracting ourselves from a constrictive shell, I think/hope/trust that freedom awaits.
