An Open Heart – Day 4
March 01, 2018
It is normal to not want to be that open all the time. There are times we need to back off, go a little numb. Knowing that we can protect ourselves is an important part of staying open. But we don’t need to put so much armor around our heart that it takes a battering ram to get back in.
Inventory Focus: How do you protect yourself when you become exposed, even potentially, to pain, disappointment, or manipulation? Do you make a decision never to be open again? Are you willing to open up, even a little?
