When it comes to matters of health - we sometimes run away from what we know to be true about ourselves;
Because of a stigma or fear in other areas. Fear of being judged, treated differently, bullying, etc. Rejected, or other.
When it comes to wellness, many of us are learning how to take better care of ourselves.
I am at the ripe old age of 48 - going on to 49! I have never really ‘’Felt GOOD’’ until I started prioritizing certain areas more than others. I am finally ‘’starting to feel good!’’
I am realizing I am sure I have a certain other condition mentally, and it is scary, but knowing who I have known in my life, who I once dated, whom I have also worked with in disabilities - I have some clarity in it.
We tend to like ‘’familiarity.’’
Freedom comes in acceptance. NOT in fighting the uphill battle. Acceptance and loving ourselves for who we are, what we need for treatment, and not being ashamed. We are made how we are made.
Period.
Align Expectations with Reality.
I have a daughter, and I am so thankful she is in my life, to help me keep going with my head high. I have friends and family that help me along the way in my journey. This part that I have to accept is easier because I KNOW that I KNOW I am where I am supposed to be.
I am living.
I need to be even better now, so I am taking a step in acceptance so I can feel even better.
Letting go of fear is necessary.
STIGMA is everywhere, I am used to it anyway.
LIFE is Hard at times.
Hard things happen for bigger reasons that we don’t yet know….. That hindsight is 20/20 thing….
I am looking forward to the next step in my wellness, and thankful for my support. I hope that you have support wherever you are and that you find more if it's needed.
It makes all the difference.
