In Part 2 of The Hardest Thing episode begun a couple of weeks ago, we take a deeper dive into why it's so difficult to be in the present moment. I encourage you to listen to Part 1 before listening to this episode, where we lay out the foundational premise of this conversation. This week, we pick up where we left off and explore what is truly meant by the terms "Trust and Surrender", and why they are so hard to do, especially when we don't like or don't want what is happening in the present moment. What does it mean to "surrender"? If you surrender, are you stuck there? What does acceptance mean? If you accept the present moment, are you giving up? Giving in? If you stopped resisting what is, what becomes available to you that is not available inside your resistance? These are the questions we'll explore as we unpack how to navigate the hardest thing we'll ever do. And please be sure to weigh in with your experience in the "interact" function. Look for the prompt, "What did you think of this episode" and let me know what lands for you, what new awareness opens up for you, and what you see possible for yourself. And while you're at it, if you haven't already, please take a moment to follow, rate, review and share this episode with others. This is how we find our audience. Thank you so much for your support!
