So with you on all this Eliza. It was probably the most pivotal moment in my healing and awareness journey when I started hearing the ‘I should’ voice and then could intercept it, and start to retrace the original impulse I had, before the ‘should’ voice highjacked me.
I haven’t read Grit but I can see how a younger version of me could have been seduced by the idea, it would have spoken to my not-enoughness and made me try to adopt ways that are not right for me, but I read many many other books from that place!
If in doubt I ask myself, ‘what’s the energy behind this?’ And if it’s anything that feels like proving something energy, i.e. coming from a place lack, I quickly return home 💜
Oh i love this so much Sarina, thank you for sharing. I love the practice of intercepting any "should" or scarcity thinking adn returning back into the body to feel into what is true and real for you. Beautiful beautiful!

Thanks for writing this! I also struggled to resonate with the idea of Grit from the book.
Right?! Glad I'm not the only one :)
