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.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.
- Vicoir
The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.
- Lauren
Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!
- EJ
Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
