Some people never change, and you will see no way but to leave them. Realizing that might cause you so much pain but do remember to congratulate yourself on moving on and choosing what was best for you. It’s hard to say goodbye but consider this as an opportunity to welcome greater people into your life, who will treat you with more kindness and respect. No matter how much you love someone, you have to end relationships when someone treats you badly and doesn’t want to listen to how they hurt you or doesn’t want work together to fix the relationship. Let yourself be done with some relationships. Even when cutting people out of your life seems painful, remember that there will be space for greater people to come into your life. Welcome them in and move past the other people who cause you so much pain.
Climbing back aboard the better eating bus. A week in and I already feel more energized and alert throughout the day.
So easy to slip into unhealthy eating patterns of junk/processed foods and eating out. They provide us short term comfort. Those effects are short lived and soon you find yourself wanting more and getting caught in the cycle of eating foods that do not provide the proper healthy nutrients to power your body and mind all day long. It’s a tough cycle to break and easy to slip back into.
Try breaking out of it for a couple weeks. At first you’ll feel like garbage as your body craves the short burst energy it’s become accustomed to. But then you’ll start to notice how much better you feel without all that junk weighing you down.
it was my 25th birthday yesterday and I’m still working towards the woman I aspire to be. Im spending more time focusing on my all around health, goals and needs. Cheers to another year around the sun ☀️🥂
As we go through our healing, we begin to feel our best. We begin to feel so good, in fact, that we want others to experience exactly what we have been able to do for ourselves. After all, everyone wants to feel good, right? We start taking it upon ourselves to try to get others to do the work that we have done. Healing. Seeing life in a more positive light. Working on the past for a better future. We can’t do this though.
It isn’t our place to get others to do their healing. They may not be ready. They may not be capable. It may even be possible that they don’t want to heal. There is nothing that either of us can do to change either one of those variables. In that though, we have to look out for ourselves. If it bothers us that others are not doing their healing, then it may be possible that we need to look to ourselves and set boundaries to avoid being triggered.
Yes, our healing journeys are amazing, but everyone has to reach this point for themselves. The point of wanting to take on a more challenging life to work on themselves for the better. We can’t heal others. In the same way that others can push us to change things that we are not capable of or willing to change at this very moment, we can’t push others to be more “like us.”
Trying to do this very well could cause further damage to relationships that are already strained. If not that, then it could cause resentment of the self and also resentment of the other person. People are as they are and people are as they are going to be. Those individuals are the only ones who can change that. Just as you were the one who chose to set out on your healing journey.
Don’t stress yourself over trying to get others to heal or to “do better.” We each have choices to make, and one that you may have to make for yourself is to get comfortable with being around those who are unhealed and to remember your why in all of this. It was never about anyone else.
Not the best picture, but I've been eating clean for almost 5 days now (I want a cheeseburger and fries SOOO bad), and I feel so much better already. I am more positive, have more energy and I can think clearer. It's amazing. I still really want a cheeseburger though. 🤣
Bought some new jewelry and feeling Patriotic, today and every day. Supporting our military this Friday and every Friday. Until they all come home. 🇺🇲❤️
