I found this post really inspiring. It made me reflect on all the changes I've implemented in my own life that have led to positive growth... and how choosing them when I'm 'winning' feels easy, but it's choosing them when I don't feel good that really embeds them. A lot of my own I can't believe either. And I really resonate with healing feeling worse in the short term, haha. It's like letting a wound bleed instead of incessantly popping bandaids on. Also inspired me to want to do more of my own writing, too. Documenting a proven manual for when times get hard.
A lovely piece and happy for your healing journey. Also resonating a lot so it is much appreciated. Particularly love the check in to tell people you’re doing well! 🫶
A lot of what you've shared here resonated with me too - both in terms of your experience of the real lows & what caused them, and about what you've found works for you. I'm so happy for you that things feel/are different this time, that you've got the knowledge and confidence to be there for yourself & others when the hard times come xx
(I also realise that when the lows come, my appetite & awareness of when I've eaten disappears. Making sure I eat at least one meal, which hopefully has 2 veggies, something to bulk it up and a protein/fat, helps me keep both feet on the ground.)
