It's Sunday, let's go!

Before reading I want you to do four box breaths.

Exhale to a count of four, holding your lungs empty for a four-count, inhaling at the same pace, and holding air in your lungs for a count of four before exhaling.

Repeat 4 times.

❓Self-reflection question ❓

What am I afraid is true about myself?

This is a powerful question to ask yourself as it presses on a few internal buttons.

It might be helpful to then dig a bit deeper...

  • What have people said about me in the past that just came to mind?

  • What insecurities did it bring up?

  • Where am I lacking compassion for myself?

  • Is what I am scared of true? If it is true is there anything I can do about it?

  • Am I being blind to behaviour that's holding me back & dragging me down?

Dark Nights

We all have dark nights,

And that’s alright.

It’s part of our journey.

When they come,

we have a choice.

We can either

Cower in fright,

Distract ourselves with

Intoxication and perpetual motion

Or be like the Dark Knight

And go into the shadow.

Hunt down our fear,

Bring it to the light,

Overcome our terror,

And make it a superpower.

Because when you conquer

Your fear of bats,

You become mother fucking Batman.

So be grateful for those nights,

O hero thou art,

For hidden in the pain is your greatest gain.
