I, too, have been a stayer. Chair pose, no problem. Bring it on! And yet, what is all that staying and being strong getting me? It IS courageous to practice letting go, leaving, shifting. Like being stuck in comfort, we can become comfortable with the discomfort even when it is harmful to us. Like a root bound plant, sometimes we need to break up old patterns and be ok with the unknown. Be ok with feeling like a novice, making mistakes, and maybe even make the wrong choice to leave or stay. As you say, which feels more generative? When I am staying because I am comfortable in the discomfort, typically it is the life draining choice I am making rather than the one that leads to growth and freedom
