So much of what gets blamed on aging is really just accumulated trauma.
As we go through life, we experience trauma, large and small, on physical, mental and emotional levels. We carry compensations from those traumas within us because we lacked the opportunity, resources or support required to fully resolve them at the time. And so we go through life, taking care of business while also maintaining these layers of compensation.
The next time you think (or are told) “that’s just part of getting older”, take a moment to consider what your body and mind may be holding on to… and then take a breath and ask yourself if you are ready to let it go.
