I recently posted a video. It was raw and gave a slight insight into my world. The following day, I had a hangover 😬
A vulnerability hangover 😳
Being vulnerable is not easy. And l, especially, find it incredibly difficult. All I wanted to do the following day was to delete the video, but I didn't.
When we want change in life, this comes with parts we may not like, but coming out of your comfort zone and doing them anyway has an element of freedom.
Life after cancer becomes a quiet journey you walk alone, even if you have people around you.
It's easier and safer, and it reduces the risk of showing your vulnerable parts to others.
It's not something you decide overnight, but along the way, for various reasons, you reach that point.
Coming out of it can feel difficult, but I realised that having that mindset was something I needed for a period of time, but now it's no longer required and may be a barrier to moving forward.
So if this feels familiar to you, you're not alone, and when you're ready, as yourself, do you still need it?
We create ways to keep us safe, but they are not required forever ✨️
🧠The beauty about our brains is that no matter what we have trained it to do, we can change that routine as many times as we want ✨️
