Last night I almost didn‘t participate in my biweekly Mentor Group Meeting, because I was exhausted from a week of working, traveling, and teaching. So glad, that I decided to join nevertheless!
One of the other mentors guided a RAIN practice and while I was contemplating on a current topic, I all of a sudden found myself back in my teenage years, struggeling with „not being good enough“, feeling enormously tired, and hearing me say „just leave me alone.“ What an important reminder of old patterns, that still happen inside me in challenging times today.
Anybody who shares a history of „not being good enough“ knows that the trance of unworthiness can be so exhausting. Sharing my experience and hearing similar „messy“ ones from my fellow mentors, coaches and therapists, reminded me that we are all in this together.

I am grateful for my clients, colleagues, and peers, who open up, make themselves vulnerable, and thus show me all the beauty that comes with being messy and unfinished. And that messy and unfinished is still enough.
What is your messy today? And can you be messy and enough at the same time?
