Recently I branched outside my comfort zone, which can tend to surface discomfort (triggering) and insights into who we truly are. I was surprised to discover how easy it was to open up in certain areas of my life, but not others. Just when I thought I got to the point of not caring about judgment from others, I felt my wall go up and the feeling of wanting to leave immediately. My past lessons have taught me to stay and be uncomfortable, but I wasn't ready to share, or even aware of why I was feeling that way.

Overthinking. This feeling of discomfort raises so many questions;

Even in a seemingly "safe" environment, why am I feeling this way? Is it actually safe or are my instincts trying to tell me something?

Am I overthinking the situation?

Do I really dislike what I am doing, or is this an opportunity for self growth?

Is this an important lesson for healing?

What areas of my life could improve by overcoming this fear of whatever it is that is surfacing?

More self reflection is needed, or maybe this was the point? What deep, dark areas of my soul are still left undiscovered and unhealed.
