I have a virus that is leaving me nauseous and heavy and headachy.
I’m supposed to be somewhere else, not in my bed.
Years ago I would have pushed through. I would have been afraid to disappoint people and myself.
I’ve realized that I serve no one with pushing, least of all, myself.
Don’t get me wrong, we parents have to do things all of the time. It’s raising kids.
But have you drawn the distinctions between your “have-to’s” and your “non-necessities?”
You can become so accustomed to pushing that you push through everything, even the things that never needed it.
Where can you stop pushing?
Write it on a sticky and hang it up.
