Becoming one‘s best self includes experiencing massive amounts of grief around who you are no longer. All the old patterns you let go of, all the ways you allow your ego to take a backseat in order to meet what is real and most truthful, all the new brighter information you feed your nervous system about who and what you really are, all the habits and coping mechanisms you break, all the acts you no longer engage, all the ways of thinking and perceiving you no longer participate in, all of it comes with various levels of grief. When you stop pushing away and recoiling from grief, you begin to open and expand enormously inside of it and witness how loving, lush and wise grief has always been. —India Ame’ye
