The Spiritual Squat

12/29/2015

Can you remember a day where you were so ready to throw in the towel. It seemed like almost every possible scenario that could go wrong, did?

We've all been at the end of our rope when one more little thing pushes our buttons: perhaps the cat threw up, you stub your toe, or heaven forbid you overcook dinner.

And then it's off to the races. You lose your cool. You're done with this day and want to sleep until the weekend. You start asking yourself "whyyyy meeeeee?".

Let me explain why these seemingly awful days are actually good for you. 

Every time life knocks you on your butt, and you get back up, you've just done a spiritual squat and you're now stronger because of it.

Muscles are built from resistance, right? You lift something heavy, create little micro tears in your muscles and then they grow back stronger. Well it's the very same principle with your mental and spiritual strength too.

You don't become a better, stronger version of yourself by hiding in your house and vowing to never be challenged again. You grow because you're being challenged.

Embrace life's challenges, even on days when you don't think you can handle it. You'll never know what you're truly capable of handling unless you are (unfortunately) pushed beyond your comfort zone.

A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there. So think of the sh*t you're dealing with in your day like manure in a garden. Yeah it's not pleasant, but it's gonna make you bloom bigger and more beautifully than you could have ever imagined.

Some spiritual squats are deeper than others, and you'll really feel that burn, but that's when the most growth happens. So grin and bare it, while you build that spiritual booty of yours.

Sending you love, light and inspiration for your journey ahead,
-L.K.
