In a recent encounter at a family gathering, a very specific phrase was used as an excuse for someone not being present- and it struck something deep within me.
Turning the mirror inward as I often do, I find myself wondering... when is ‘protecting your peace’ just an excuse? And if it is an excuse, when do we begin to take responsibility for the role that we play in every area of our lives?
Thus, in today’s episode, we’re exploring the idea of protecting your peace and the ways in which this might be a valid assessment, or perhaps- something we use when we’re being lazy or lacking motivation.
This exploration comes without judgement, but rather an inquisitive look at the times when we should intuitively listen to our body versus the times when we need to kick our own butts in gear.
So let’s dive in, shall we?
