What if the reason you feel stuck is not because your life isn't working, but because you think your only options are everything or nothing? Leave or stay. Change it all or change nothing. But what if there's another way?
Not everything hard needs to be endured forever. Not everything off course needs to be abandoned. Not every tenderness needs to become a lesson. Some things, they just need care. They just need honesty. Just need rest. And just need a little less noise and a little more room. Something just needed a version of you that is willing to stay, pay attention and respond with grace that is not black and white, that is deep in the gray.
I think that gray is helpful. I think gray is kind, kind to ourselves because it lets us be unfinished, kind to others, because it lets them be complex to kind of life, because it stops asking it to be simpler than it actually is. And maybe living more as ourselves does not come from mastering life.
On this episode of Plot Twist, we're talking about the space in between the pause, the re-calibration, the soft reset. Not starting over, not settling, just returning.
There's something I really love about the idea of a soft reset. Because maybe the plot twist is you don't need a new life, just a gentler way of living. The one you have.
That reset...is the beginning of a PLOT TWIST
