Constant comparison

Sep 4, 2018 | Featured, Personal - development

Constant comparison. Negative self talk. Thinking everyone else had it together while I was falling apart. Being my worst critic. Focusing on lack. Giving up on myself, my health, my happiness, my dreams since what I was doing wasn’t working. Settling for mediocrity. Letting myself go. Allowing the fire 🔥 within me to go out. 

You know what I got good at? Keeping my misalignment to myself. Feeling alone. Smiling in public but lashing out on my loved ones in private, hoping it would somehow make me feel better. I didn’t know how to be happy for someone without being jealous of them. 
I didn’t realize the way I felt about myself was impacting my family. 
I didn’t realize that because I couldn’t see the good in me, I couldn’t see the good in others. 

Feeling like I hit rock bottom, I needed to break the cycle…..

Falling From a High

“Mommy, did you cry when I was born?” Where did that question come from?  Is it because I cry at most of our family meetings?  Should I tell him the truth? Why wouldn’t I tell him the truth?  “No.  I didn’t cry when you were born.  (Feeling guilty for some odd...

Tonight I breathe in peace

Great discussion tonight after a long day in clinic, on the road, open house, and delayed bedtimes. I know I'm not the only one rudely awakened to the adjustment of going back to school, being more adjustment than expected. What a shock to the system... Suddenly...
