Good Enough Healing

Hey, welcome back to

your Daily Mindfulness.

In today's session, we're going

to talk about what I like to

call "good enough healing."

So when we enter the stream of personal

development or personal growth, we can

sometimes get the impression that we

need to fix everything or change all of

our negative conditionings and feel like

we're fully healed from our traumas before

we can really start living a good life.

My encouragement is to not

get caught in that trap.

I've yet to meet any person

who was fully purified.

I'm not even sure what that

would look like in a person.

In fact, so much of what makes

people great is their particular

conditionings, their unique past,

and the personal struggles that have

molded them into who they are today.

You don't need to solve, heal,

or understand everything that

has ever happened to you.

There may be some really deep

stuff that just feels too

exhausting or stressful to work on.

That's okay.

Sometimes all we need is

healing that is good enough.

Good enough so that our baggage doesn't

completely hold us back from experiencing

our lives in the way we want to.

If or when we feel inspired to go into

the deeper stuff, it will be there.

But we never have to,

nor should we force it.

Some of our wounds will have healed

without leaving a mark, others will

have scarred and some may still be raw.

You can still live your life

today with all of this at play.

You're going to experience anger.

You're going to get triggered.

You're going to feel jealous.

You're going to say the wrong thing,

and you're going to feel overwhelmed.

These are all aspects of being human.

Developing mindfulness is less about

getting rid of these things and more

about meeting these moments with

openness, curiosity, and heartfulness.

You do not need to wait until you

have healed all of your "stuff"

before you can have a good life.

And there's much you can do to

continue to nurture what is already

good and life-giving inside you.

So today my encouragement is to

connect to those aspects of your

life that do feel life-giving, that

do feel okay and that do feel whole.

As always, thank you for your practice.

I'll talk to you soon

and until then take care.
