If this you or are you a "recovering" one? This is not a seed to continue to water nor is it one to beat yourself up over. None of them are. It is all learned behavior. It can all be unlearned.

This might seem like a heavy topic but it is important to speak out loud about the hard stuff. We stuff down too much and it doesn't serve us in a healthy way. Moving through loss and the grieving process is different for each person and it's ok to honor the process. Lynne made me aware of an area that I had not looked at as grieving the loss or in this case, change. Grief is ok to talk about and it is ok to ask for help if needed.

We pickup so many small things in life that end up being huge because we carry them for so long. Most of these come from interactions with others. We choose to take them on and we choose to carry them. It causes us to see ourselves in not always the best light and that is wrong. Lies I say, Lies!! I know from personal experience and I'm sharing one of mine hoping it will inspire you to face one of yours and say enough is enough. See it for what it was...NOT YOURS!

As a Restorative Yoga Teacher I know the struggle with allowing ourselves to surrender to the quiet and stillness. We feel the need to always be doing something and it can seem as if we are failing at our responsibilities/obligations if we stop.
