Some days just suck! Ever feel like a victim? Completely vulnerable, overwhelmed, and lostâall at the same time? Yeah, me too.
Today, I felt all of this while driving my husband to his monthly stent replacement appointment. Itâs become our routine, our normal. But no matter how many times we do this, it still hits me like a ton of bricks. This is the body my husband has to live in, and itâs a reality we face together. (It sucks sometimes!)
Most of the time, we handle it like champsâ89% of the time, maybe more! But there are moments when life feels incredibly hard, and the weight of it all is almost unbearable. We have to feel these emotions, sit with them, even when we want to stuff them down and pretend weâre fine.
This morning, sitting in the prep room with Rob, I was not feeling fine. In fact, I was on the verge of tears. But then his regular nurse walked in and completely shifted the energy. They adore Rob at this office, and itâs no surprise. Heâs the best!
Despite the challenges, these moments remind me of the power of vulnerability and the strength we find within ourselves. Itâs okay to feel overwhelmed, to cry, to admit that things are tough.
In these moments, we discover our resilience and our capacity for love and compassion -for ourself and others. We learn that itâs okay to lean on others and to allow their light to shine into our darkest moments.
If youâre feeling overwhelmed, remember youâre not alone. Feel your emotions, be gentle with yourself, and know that even in the hardest times, thereâs a strength within you that can get through anything. But there is also strength in asking for support.
- Support in that moment⊠like a phone call to a friend.
- Support to better navigate lifeâs ups and downsâŠlike a coach &/or therapist.
-Support to be a well equipped human to better navigate this wild ride we are on.
