As I mention it, me and my metaphors :) but I find it important to use something for myself - and maybe for you too - that I can hold onto and helps me understand the process. The Muddy Path is the path I am walking on right now. The path I've chosen it is beautiful but it's not always just happiness and rainbow. Sometimes it gets hard to walk on, like a muddy path, sometimes need to take a detour, or side walks to be able to keep going, but eventually the mud will dry up - the Sun is there for you - and the path will be easy to walk on again. And maybe rain comes again, but that's okay, because you are much further this time on the path and you learnt a lot and you'll be more peppered when another muddy, maybe flooded parts comes or any obstacles on your path.
Self-Love journey can be very painful especially at the beginning, because there are loads of traumas coming to surface to deal with. And for me, finding metaphors help me to see the whole picture, because there is always a Bigger Picture. And this is what we want to achieve, right? To get to that Bigger Picture - and not to give up, I need something I can understand that is okay to slow down, fall and stand still for a bit and take a break. - BUT! Keeping that PICTURE in front of me, helps me to keep going.
Peace&Love
