Irene encouraged us to proceed through this entire program at our own pace. The explicit examples she provided for when our body says that we should take a break were valuable and so appreciated. I’ve experienced each of those impulses many times in life and at some points during most SBSM offerings, and in trying to keep up, soldiered on. Didn’t realize that I was quite literally sabotaging my needs and desired rewiring by doing so but now got the memo.
So much of this work is about learning to listen and move accordingly. And, to know what I’m listening to is key. Thank you, Irene, for clarifying what may have been obvious to many but, until now, wasn’t to me. Strong motivation/need to get as much goodness out of this program was overriding my capacity. Routinely.
