Lately it seems like so many people are dealing with something on top of life already being pandemic different.
Lots of people have challenges stacked right now.
If that's you I say: Don’t forget to remind yourself that you’re strong.
I'm all about fixing what I can, but we all face challenges that aren't entirely in our control to fix. For those tricky problems, I either focus on what I can do or learn.
I’m learning to accept (rather than carry) what I can’t fix.
I realized I can have empathy with limits, and not be a sponge for how everyone else is feeling.
I’ve learned what a fierce advocate I can be for others.
Every now and then I need to remember to be that person for myself, too.
Maybe you need to hear this, too.
