Recently, I was listening to Elizabeth Gilbert’s podcast Magic Lessons. In the episode entitled, “Dancing From the Heart,” Gilbert talks to a dancer named Penelope who continually uses the word “hard” to describe her future performance. The advice Paralympian, and author Amy Purdy gave was to soften into what was hard. That doesn’t mean things aren’t hard, but softening our perception gives us a chance to flow and let go instead of resist and react to life’s challenges.
If you catch yourself describing your situation as hard, try softening into it. It might help ease you into whatever you’re currently dealing with.
