GRIEF // Grief always starts with a loss, whether it’s a death, a break up, a job loss, or even object or financial loss. Whatever it is, grief starts with an ending. It’s so easy for us to keep pushing forwards, to ignore the deep well that grief takes us into. We want to rush to the new beginning, that always comes at some point after grief, where we can feel safe and comfortable again. Because who likes to feel uncomfortable? - Here’s the thing though… By ignoring and repressing our grief, by forcing through to the other end, by not allowing ourselves space to grieve or to experience the unknown and uncomfortable place between grief and a new beginning, any change that comes after will not be sustainable. And that’s the truth. You can’t create sustainable change in your future when there’s still an unresolved past nudging at you in your present. - Many of us avoid grief because we lack the tools to get ourselves back out. Before I give you my favourite tool to try, let me tell you this – stop treating your grief like it’s something to get out of! There is nothing wrong, or weak, about experiencing grief so stop acting like you have to leave it. Let yourself sit in it for as long as is needed and without force or a rush to change it because only then will you truly be able to move forwards into your new beginning. Let yourself organically move through the different levels of grief and the different zones of grief (ending, neutral, beginning). - If you want to learn more about grief and one of my fave tools to work through it, click the link in my bio! kianangyoga.com/the-grief-process 💙 - #grief #emotions #blogpost #yoga #dancerspose #dubai #travel #empowerment #yogaeverydamnday #yogateacher #backbend #flexibility #yogalove #lifecoach #empowermentcoach #yogini #yogapractice (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-5oXQg-pG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9tgc6oztg0nf
