Setting the boundary is the easiest part. Holding the boundary and enforcing it feels insanely hard and deeply wrong to your system. Remember there is/was a reason the boundary was set.

Wise words from Bruce Lee

Grief happens not just in death. It happens when a change is experienced, a shift in life occurs, a realization creates a difference in perspective and when loss happens in life.

Maybe the exhaustion, anxiety, irritability, and brain fog
isn’t a personal failure.

Maybe it’s you carrying loss
with nowhere to put it.

Grief doesn’t always look like tears.
Sometimes it looks like snapping at people you love.
Canceling plans.
Feeling behind in your own life.
Wondering why everything feels heavier than it should.

Maybe nothing is “wrong” with you.

Maybe you’re grieving
things you were never taught to name.

Take a pause with me. Just a moment to be still. A moment to just be in the world. There are times that we need to just take a moment to step out of the chaos, the worry, the stress, the dumpster fire happening around us. Take a moment to pause and then re-engage. Then resume. Then step back into the fight. The pause isn’t forever, it is a moment to self regulate in order to continue moving forward.

Don't let the concept of change scare you as much as the concept of staying unhappy.

Thoughts with a running therapist: The Struggle Bus. When life seems to be collapsing all around you in every way and you have a seat on the struggle bus; take a moment to pause, to settle and breathe. Pushing through works sometimes and other times we need to pause, settle, and let go to keep going.

This hits in today’s culture of more more more and you will be happy when you have (insert that thing).
Value what you have and you don’t need so much more.

When you value what you have, you have all that you need.

Thoughts with a Running therapist: layers. Healing happens in layers. Achieving our goals or putting out plans in action happens in layers. We get started, we faltered, we keep going. We did not get to this place in life in one day; is happened over time. Healing and changing also takes time and is on repeat until we get it.
