If everyone started to sincerely believe and live by these truths, I’d have (happily) worked myself out of a job:
- Rest isn’t lazy, it’s productive.
- Saying no isn’t punitive, it’s honest.
- Needing help isn’t selfish, it’s human.
- Boundaries aren’t mean, they’re clear. (And “clear is kind.”)
- Letting people take responsibility for their own happiness isn’t cruel, it’s empowering.
- Suffering isn’t a badge of honor, it’s a breadcrumb to help you find the way out.
- Feeling your emotions won’t destroy you, it will make you whole.
- Your body isn’t a nuisance, it’s your home.
- Feeling good is good for you.
So – reflection time. Grab a journal or just spend a moment answering these questions in your own mind.
- Which of those statements spike the most resistance for you?
- What about that feels scary to embrace?
- Which of these truths would move the needle most if you did embrace it?
If you’d like to share, feel free to reply and share your answers with me – I always love hearing what’s come up for you and what you’re working on.
