What if the journey to confront the depths within was an adventure?
my adventure of the ice caves, primal screaming with my Pomeranian, and ways I can help
Hey there, Amazing Builders! 🌟
Let's dive into the depths of our souls and explore the uncharted territories of our emotions. 🕳️ Yuck. I know I hate it - but this is what happened this month - and let I just embrace it, let it out letting it release to make room.
That’s how I view it making room for what’s to come, clearing up space, and so why not make it …. an adventure?
Conquering Darkness with a Scream
Have you ever felt that deep, primal urge to scream and let it all out? I certainly have! 🗣️
I recently went on a hike to let go of all the pent-up anger and frustration. The therapeutic power of primal screaming is just unbelievable! It felt so good to release all that rage I didn't even know I had. My puppy, though a bit scared, couldn't deny the magic in the air. 🐾
Venturing into the Unknown: The Ice Caves
During this exciting hike, I stumbled upon a hidden gem - the mysterious ice caves! With my pup in tow, we decided to explore the unexplored, well to me. What an adventure it turned out to be forcing me to confront what I had been avoiding in my inner world.
The journey was longer than I anticipated, but I was determined not to turn back. I had already hiked an extra mile Each step, though challenging, was worth it for the breathtaking view that awaited us. As we entered the caves, I realized they were much deeper and darker than I had imagined. But hey, I had come this far, so why not keep going? 💪
Confronting Inner Fears: Embracing the Unknown
As we ventured deeper into the caves, I couldn't help but draw a parallel to my life. These caves symbolized the dark corners within myself that I often feared to explore. Yet, I pushed forward, embracing the adventure.
With each turn, another cave appeared, reminding me that life's journey is full of unexpected challenges. But there's always a way out. Just like in life, you can always find your way through the darkness. 🌌
Choosing Adventure over Fear
Sure, there were moments of fear along the way. The thought of an earthquake or getting stuck in those rocks crossed my mind. But then I asked myself, "What if I make this an adventure instead of dwelling on fear?"
So, I decided to turn fear into my friend. I sang silly songs, calmed my nervous system, and pushed forward with courage and determination. And you know what? It worked! 🎶
The Metaphor for Life
This entire experience felt like a metaphor for my life. I've been facing my inner demons, shining a light on past actions, and realizing they aren't as scary as I once thought. There might be more challenges ahead, but I'm ready to take them on. 💪
Compassion for Our Inner Selves
Sometimes, we push parts of ourselves into the caves, afraid of what we might discover. But the real journey is about embracing those parts, comforting them, and letting them know they are safe to come out. We can release our past and make room for a new, empowered version of ourselves. 💖
Now ask yourself….
I invite you to join me on this journey into your inner caves. Ask yourself:
🌟 What caves are holding you back in life?
🌟 What parts of yourself are you afraid to visit?
🌟 How can you show kindness and support to those scared parts of you?
🌟 What dreams are waiting to be fulfilled once you've embraced your depths?
We all have the strength to face our inner darkness and emerge stronger and wiser. Together, we can uncover the beauty within ourselves and find our way to the light holding space for that scared version of us too and doing it with Joy ;)
