I wrote this a couple years ago on Mother’s Day. Sharing it again because it’s still true.
***
There are so many kinds of mother. The mothers you cherish and celebrate. The mothers who were never really there. The mothers who broke you. Who built you. The mothers who cheered you on. Who chipped away at you until you were dust. The mothers who reveled in your astonishing intelligence and grace and power. Who saw only their own light. The mothers who died painfully young. The mothers who lived so long you felt yourself disintegrating with them. Petal by wilted petal. The mothers who shined. Who dimmed. Who did their best. Who disappointed. Who redeemed themselves. Who accepted your redemption. Who zigged and zagged. The mothers who were a beacon. The mothers you never knew. The mothers who sewed themselves into the quilt you became. The mothers who couldn’t bear to tell the truth. The mothers who were brave. The mothers who didn’t know who they were without you. Who never saw you no matter how wildly you waved. The mothers who grieved you. Who believed in you. The mothers you call. The mothers you no longer speak to. The mothers you take for granted. Or treasure. The dead mothers. The mothers you have to search for and carry. The mothers you find in people who are not your mother. The mothers like a limb. The mothers like a mirror. The mothers like a flame. The mothers you wish. The mothers you love. The mothers you ache. The mothers you echo. The mothers you wanted to be. The mothers you became. I am thinking of you. I am holding you all.

We co-dependent and people-pleasing types often stuff uncomfortable feelings (so we can continue to be loving, kind, and reasonable).

We’re kinda afraid of our own feelings, to be honest!

After all, walking on eggshells (and not rocking the boat!) requires keeping OTHERS comfortable…

And if we feel *our* feelings, we might mess that up.

So we get really good at pushing down our emotions in order to keep others comfortable.

That becomes the name of the game:

Keep *everyone else* comfortable.

Except for ourselves.

(Not that we really notice that. Cause we’re not feeling our feelings).

We stuff. We numb. We deny. We repress.

Aaaaaand we wonder why we struggle with setting boundaries.

PS. Contrary to what we’ve thought, our emotions are rich and beautiful things. Far from scary, they can be powerful and organic boundary-setting guides. ✨

In my opinion, we can’t do deep boundaries work without them.

Thankfully, discovering how to work with our emotions can be a lot of fun (and a gift that keeps on giving)! 🥰

Yep. Change is possible. Just because we’ve behaved in ways that are codependent or people-pleasing doesn’t mean we have to stay that way.

Very interesting view on pain/suffering. The connection between memory and pain to understand the "pain as an emotion felt by a part of the body".

Turning toward what's hard and scary and vulnerable is not a default choice (at least it's not mine). But over the years I've learned that the energy I spend trying to avoid my fear is best spent walking right toward it with an open and willing heart. Easy? Heck no. Does it get easier? Not always. Worth it? So far it's been worth it every single time.

Be mindful and intentional about how you behave at work. What kinds of experiences are challenging for you? What can you learn from these moments?

Over-involvement can lead to damaged professional relationships, heightened anxiety and stress, and an overall lack of balance in your life. Letting go doesn't equate to slacking off.

Si el comienzo del año está siendo muy pesado, si la ansiedad o el estrés han vuelto a tu rutina, quizás es momento de pedir ayuda.
