In "survival" mode I was constantly on guard.
My
body was tense and often achey.
My mind was racing - analyzing every word
others spoke, trying to gage their feelings, predict their next action.
The
world was not that "benevolent" place I was told it was. I'd not
experienced much kindness or compassion. Asking for "help" always
ended badly as I became puppet to yet one more person who believed if I would
just "do what I was told" - then for sure my life and I would be
"better". Yet - this just perpetrated that feeling of helplessness
and powerlessness that pervaded my life and being.
It was in learning to listen
to my own body, recognize when I was "triggered" and that I could
choose how to respond that I found the power that I'd held all along - but not
been taught to access when I sought "help" all those years ago - that finally set me free.
Was it easy? No.
Was it worth
the effort, the struggle, the pain that comes with all growth?
Absolutely.

| What is a "best life"? Its the life I choose and create for myself each day. |
You are enough.
You have what it takes.
It is never
ever
too late
to create our
best life.
In awe of your amazing courage,
Susan:)
