Thank you! I’ve noticed how I feel affects how I walk, and how I feel about myself influences how others see me.

Thank you for a perfect reminder .. im dealing w being stonewalled in my long term situationship that I thought was actually a relationship now but i wasnt using my tools etc and i inadvertantly alienated us both .. with my doubts and fears and not being honest about my feelings in a way that could be heard but instead put pressure and expectations and sounded like a demand which completely shut him down.. the stress was fire evacuation and his resent blood cancer diagnoses. We were young and we didnt do things I wanted to do.. Im holding on to resentments from the past... unresolved underlying commitment and communication issues involving attachment styles and values. Our son is 8... Im a womans empowerment coach and yet I must come to be reminded and empowered. Stonewalling gives us time to evaluate and consider our part in things and decide if we really want to leep doing this but.. Id rather just take space without the negative energy but thats not always how it happens. I dont like his coping mechanisms but as a thinking person who appreciates my solitude.. i do learn a lot about myself and my partner and get perspective on how Im showing up... I hate it and i never want to feel this pain again but also, its constructive for me to really digest whats going on a bit deeper and... try not to be codependant too. Anyway!!! This will be my morning pages today perhaps. Posture!!!!! I am a goddess of earth creating paradise from some realm of this earthly asphodel or tartarus... leaning back w arms on high.. I will not submit to the weight... i will be brave and choose to matter. 🪷🦋

Thank you for being brave and sharing. I constantly abandon myself and look for strength to say ‘no’ . I am tired of propping others up and leaving myself with less. You have reminded me to love myself and care about my needs too.
