To give, to receive, to tolerate, to empathise, to fear, to love.... When we stretch our emotions it can give us the capacity to connect with ourselves and release emotional turbulence. We can expand our ability to relate and foster our growth with others too. When we sit with our discomfort (our shadow self), reaching in deeper, we give the opportunity for it to expand us, hindering the possibility of emotional atrophy.
Imagine how much more we can achieve and be!
