Hurt people hurt people. ⁣
⁣
I once was in a session when these words came to me: “come from a place of love instead of hurt.” ⁣
⁣
It was such a simple concept, but it completely rocked me and my perspective. ⁣
⁣
How am I interacting with people? Am I coming from my hurt, my pain, my walls up, ready to attack? Or am I responding with love, seeking to understand and empathize?⁣
⁣
I realized how much of a difference it would make in all of my interactions if I just came from love. ⁣
⁣
That’s what I’d like to challenge you to think about and implement: Being intentional about how you are responding; where you are coming from when you’re communicating with others. 🙏🏻🧡 It could change the entire energy of your interactions.

I challenge you to take the step to heal. Yes, it takes work and it brings up emotions and memories you would rather not deal with, but would you rather live in unhappiness and pain longer? Do you want to rob yourself of joy and being able to thrive just because you don't want to feel bad things?

Finding the balance between being accepting of whe

Finding the balance between being accepting of where you are and moving forward can be difficult, but I believe in the middle is where you find self love and compassion. Calm and excitement.⁣
⁣
Too much of either side isn't good. Being too accepting could leave to stagnation or apathy. Doing and moving all the time can lead to burnout and anxiety.⁣
⁣
I challenge you to treat yourself with more kindness and to seek that balance of being and doing. What are some ways you are working on this?

I think of all of the reasons we have to start over...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
-we lost someone⁣⁣
-we messed up⁣⁣
-we lost our job⁣
-our health has declined⁣
-we lost ourselves⁣
-we lost our motivation⁣
-everything fell apart⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Whatever the reason is that you're starting over, it doesn't mean you failed. You don't need to be ashamed or embarrassed, thinking about what other people will think of you, or the passing of time. NONE of that matters.⁣⁣

My therapist told me something that was so so good for me to hear, and I hope it will help you too: Our progression is like a spiral staircase. We might fail and flop, but we're still going up the stairs. We just keep circling around, and we might still encounter similar obstacles that trip us up, but this time we're two flights higher than we were before. We know more now. And we keep ascending the stairs, going up the flights, gaining more knowledge and awareness with every step. We might not be at the top of the staircase, but we are still making our way there.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
You have not failed. You're still on your way. And you are not back at the first square on the game board. You're on the 5th floor or the 18th floor of the high rise. You've still got a way to go, but so does everyone else. Give yourself some credit. You've come a long way. Look how far you've come!
