Resetting
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of restoring broken pieces of pottery and repairing it
through a mixture of powdered metals, such as gold & silver, while mending a
visible outline of the areas once damaged & broken, revealing its history, flaws &
imperfections, instead of discarding or concealing - piecing back together like
so many of us have had to do in our own lives.
Conversely, the harder we work to present ourselves in inaccurate ways is simply
denying one’s own reality, true self, becoming detached before eventually having
to face the truth. Denying and hiding our vulnerabilities sets us on a path towards
loneliness, potential reclusiveness, maybe worse. It will provide us with evidence
that we do not belong, weighted self-doubt, and prevent us from strengthening our
ability to open up to deeper levels of awareness, creativity, and being an active part
of meaningful and intimate relationships.
What are the areas in your life that need resetting in 2021?
