I often hear, “I feel stuck”. This prompts me to start digging for a few things. One is grief.

Grief is a response to a loss or separation.

This could be loss of a dream, expectation, hope with an expired timeframe. You thought “IT” would happen by now. You had an “appointed” time and now experience a “disappointment”. You have become separated from your Self-esteem.

There’s a shift in your relationship with yourself because how you see yourself has changed. Yes, the feeling of low self-esteem.

This process of grieving is not linear but full of responses that feel like shock, denial, protesting, bargaining, and anger. Oh, the many expressions of anger!

Inward Anger-Depression
Outward Anger-Acting out/Attitude

BUT when you can identify that you are grieving you begin to move into understanding, coping, managing, and I love this part, REDESIGNING.

Explore your childhood dreams. Remember those conversations of “when I get older I’m going to…”. Explore the “I will never’s” that you’re actually doing.

The relationship you have with disappointment is so heavy when you’re grieving. It can bully you into adversely using self-preservation so you never move. Stuck!

Self awareness is essential to getting unstuck. If this is you acknowledge the “feeling” for it served its purpose. It reminded you to dream a new dream, or redesign an old one.

That’s Loving YourSelf 4Real💜

If you've been through trauma, it's important to know that you're not alone.

Many of us have struggled with the negative effects of trauma and then found ourselves in a place where we feel like we're not good enough, or unworthy, or unlovable. But those feelings are not true—they're just the result of external circumstances that can be overcome by loving yourself and taking care of yourself.

Here are five tips for practicing self love after trauma:

01. Know that negative self talk comes from external environment.

02. Know that self acceptance is near and possible.

03. Choosing self love & care is choosing to heal.

04. Know you can look to your past and not let it consume you.

05. Know that hiding was keeping you safe, and that's okay

Moving from a grudge to creating a healthy boundary requires forgiveness and self love.

.

Though some may think that a boundary is a grudge, the truth is boundaries are a form of self-care. Having healthy boundaries means knowing and understanding what your limits.

These are essential to sustaining a healthy relationships and a healthy life. Setting and sustaining boundaries is a skill that should be practice regularly and has nothing to do with grudges.

Not allowing old behaviors to continue can be difficult for someone that can no longer get away with something that they have in the past.

The transition may be a struggle but it is super important. How are you with identifying and maintaining your boundaries? 👇🏾
