Feeling repelled?
The instinctive push away from what feels incompatible or harmful to our wellbeing. Repulsion helps us maintain healthy boundaries.
The unmet need
Clear sense of what is compatible with our wellbeing; strong boundaries that protect our integrity; permission to say "this is not for me."
A question to sit with
What am I instinctively protecting myself from? What boundary do I need to enforce to maintain this protection?
What to do right now
Trust this repulsion—it is protecting you. Create physical and emotional distance from what repels you. Say firmly: "This is not for me. I honor my instinct to pull away." Enforce this boundary.
