I have been exploring feelings of vulnerability, growth, uncertainty, and the inspiration to move in new areas of experience. By way of contrast (feelings or experiences I consider unpleasant), I am more clear about the experiences I want, long for, welcome. And in the having of “new experiences” sometimes they feel unfamiliar or even awkward and uncomfortable; vulnerable.
vul·ner·a·ble – synonyms: unprotected, unguarded, undefended, unshielded, unarmed.
So considering these synonyms, consider the opposite; “protected, guarded, defended, shielded, armed”.
Is allowing yourself to be vulnerable healthy?
What does “vulnerable” look like to you?
I would love to hear your thoughts.
