Read that again.

You’re probably not giving yourself enough credit.

Progress doesn’t always feel loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s just you, becoming the person you once wished you could be.

Drop a ❤️ if you needed this reminder today.

Feeling feelings can be hard, but, trust me, avoiding them never works out well. Feel it to heal it! 👻

Watch out for resentment. It can really creep up on you if you’re not paying attention. And not just that, it can linger around for decades if you don’t do anything about it. Here’s what happens if you’re not addressing it: You just manage the time away. You just pretend the time away. You just harbor the time away. Relationships wither and rot. Direct, I know. But it’s true. For some, resentment gives a reason to stay disconnected, for others it supports the narrative that you’re never seen or cared for. It chips away, piece by piece, bit by bit doing intense damage to the unit and individuals who are a part of it. If you have resentment in your relationship do you have any thoughts around how it got there? How it’s stayed there? What has kept you (or them) from doing much about it? Do you believe it can change? Do you think you could be forgiven? Do you fear what addressing it will do, like lead to an outcome you’d prefer not face?
Can you gently face some of these questions and identify what avoiding the resentment is serving? What is its function?
