thanks for writing this. My most recent attempts at "better" (joining a Pliates class to "improve fitness/ strength/ energy") fell flat on its face this past week as the instructor kept pushing my body beyond what it can do after 35 surgeries -- now laid up with an injured, super painful arm. I've been thinking about this as well, about what the impulse is to get to that "better", about how much of it is coming from me and how much is coming from a world telling me that I must. No answers yet, but the questions resonate.
Uff, that sounds rough on you, Aditi. Glad you are getting some rest now. Ya, the "better" impulse is so mediated by others, I struggle.. Thanks for sharing this and for reading. Much love <3
I love this. The idea of shifting the focus from being "better" to being true to where you are is beautiful. Thank you.
