I get that. After years of trying to 'force' myself to 'just do it' (and being told, subtly or not, that I was 'lazy' anyway) I decided to just stop with the harshness. I'm already hard enough on myself, I don't need more reasons to beat up on myself.
I hear and feel you. It’s not easy. I’ve also started a 1:1 Mentoring, not a therapy, but already have been told that the voice inside of my head would be too loud… oh well! Too much analyzing and overthinking. My mentor called it ‘Kopfstimme’ in German, meaning there’s also other voices inside of myself, the one of my heart and soul for example. It all is a process and we gotta be kind and patient with ourselves. I like your word, soft. 😌
I the word 'kopfstimme', I think in Dutch it would be 'Kopstemmen'.
If you've been listening to all the kopfstimme all the time, it's super hard to know which one is yours and which one isn't. I believe, the real one is the one that comes out when I write.
Happy belated birthday 🥳 It’s ok to restructure what’s working for you and what doesn’t. You are young and it’s ok to keep searching for the part of your journey that works for you. I am going through this also at 42 and embracing the change along the way. Sending hugs to you❤️
Marie, I’m more than happy that you listened to yourself. And finding that inner child part had me smile. Yeah, we are 30 something and we are here courageously seeking and nurturing that inner child. I’m currently on a journey of finding different parts of my inner child that had not received what it had to when needed. It’s peaceful and comforting to connect the dots and just be there.
I love that for you Shanjitha. I'm at the beginning, so it's very hard to recognize who is that inner child and what it needs, but I'll get there! Thank you 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Okayyyy, putting me on to what an einzelganger is, I like that! Girl, the fact that you did even a week of 75 hard is an achievement in itself. A workout inside and outside every day? OMFG. You did your very best and listened to what you needed! That's the win.
🤣🤣🤣 So insane I did that if I look back at it now. Like how?? and why? But it was a very important lesson, and happy it led me to this point. Thank you for reading 🧡
I can empathize with this piece in a way that is hard to put into words. So I'll simply say, I get it. I have been through, (and am going through) it. As you said, you are not alone.
Feel free to reach out if you ever need to. It can be to talk real life or just shoot the breeze. My virtual door is always open.
Hugs! Sometimes we just need to go through it in order to figure out what we need. I'm working on a piece called, "permission to pivot" and this is exactly want I'm talking about!
Einzelgänger was a new one for me. I like how it evokes the power of independent thought that comes from being alone.
Hard 46 remains a great achievement that you should take great pride in. Much admiration.
Thank you Graeme, means a lot!! And the 46 days where enough to have a big impact on my health life!

So true, and so powerful 🧡 thank you Christie for sharing and reading.

Marie! I JUMPED to my phone when I saw this. Don’t scare me like that. That’s not what I meant by celebrating Halloween!
🤣🤣🤣 sorry girl!! It was a bit of a misleading headline
This piece was super important for me during the past few weeks. I’ll explain but thank you. You helped me heal.
I clicked on this hoping someone quit the Hard 75. That challenge is stupid.
🙈🤣
It may be hard work but it's good work and you're worth it. One step at a time...
Thank you Gary! Means a lot!

Thank you Netta 🧡 it's a journey, but the best kind of one. Sending hugs back!

You just began MV. .
I am glad that kindness came knocking. You need her. We will be here waiting for you and take as long as you need.
Thank you Gayle 🧡🧡🧡 means a lot!
