Are you one of these people that responds to every email? After a long email thread when someone says ""thank you"" to end the conversation do you still feel the need to reply ""you're welcome""?

Growing up my mother taught us to write thank you notes for presents. We had to first write them out on a piece of paper so that she could correct any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors. We then had to carefully write them on the given thank you note....without making any mistakes. They had to look spotless. I cannot remember how many ""redos"" I had to do while growing up. The front of the envelop also had to be perfectly addressed and the stamp properly placed. Off it would go in the mail. Job done.

Yet, when I get an email that says thank you, I seem to have a need to just email back.....you're welcome. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it was because I was raised that every ""thank you"" if followed by a ""you're welcome"".

I need to stop. Argh! ~ julie

Allowing myself to want is not so hard. Allowing myself to have is such a struggle. I am afraid ""to have""; to have my dreams become reality; to have the financial foundation that I have yet to achieve; to have peace fulfill me. I would be grateful for these things, but yet still afraid to ask.

Therapy has allowed me to uncover and visualize my wounds. For decades, my wounds were just a fantasy in my head; believing this is how I am supposed to be treated; that I am unworthy; my voice does not count. It was a fantasy world.

Today, my therapy work has revealed fiction v non-fiction; it has brought to light what was and what can be; it has made me face what I had the power to overcome, to fix, to repair....to go back and retreach myself the truth; reality.

I am currently closing the door on my parents trust/estate. I have been the trustee since they passed in 2021 and 2022. Due to a loophole that was not seen before they passed, some of my dad's estate wound up in probate. What a mess!! This past year, we were finally able to close that loopholes after thousands of dollars in attorney fees. With all the assets now distributed, I am finally getting to close this door. No need to ever engage with my siblings again; blocking their emails; blocking phone calls and messages. That door has closed.

The door that has been adjacent to the one that only showed my past is now wide open. The amazing sunshine, vista, and nature that I can see while standing on the threshold of that door.....the size of the door....both tall and wide....I get to say good-bye. I get to walk forward without the burden of the past. I feel happy, free, and excited.

What door do you need to close? ~ julie

It is not just the love of others. It is the love for yourself.

The idea of having boundaries really did not come about until the last five years. From an early age, I learned that my ""no"" had no value. It has been through my work with my amazing therapist that I not only fully grasped the ideas of boundaries but that I started to set boundaries. I was no longer going to be treated in the manner I was by my then husband. Drawing those boundaries and holding them was really hard; he really did not like them and had no problem loudly expressing his distain of them.

Boundaries are now part of my self-love work. How are you practicing self-love? ~ julie

Not long after starting my healing journey, I began to stop and think about my decisions. Granted, even when my gut was telling me "no", "yes" still seemed to come out of my mouth. But the fact that I started to stop and think, to discern the situation, my thoughts, my decision was a start. Today, I am taking discernment far more seriously. I know it can irritate people who want an answer right away. But, I am taking the time I need before I speak.....well, at least most of the time. ~ julie

I own a small business with three entities under its umbrella. For one of those, Redeem Thyself, I have placed the word ""survivor"". I have survived. But I have done far more than just survive. I am thirving because I am also resilient.

I believe that raising my daughters alone gave me a purpose to not only survive but to thrive; thrive to keep a roof over our heads, to keep them in their Christian school, to make sure I could be present at as many of their events as possible, to be there to listen, comfort, and love them deeply.

It has been that softness, kindness, understanding, patience, and so much more that I somehow embraced that continues to be at the forefront of all I do. What has kept you thriving and not just surviving? ~ julie

I tried to negotiate to save relationships, people, and my own thinking. I continue to try to negotiate or rationalize what was; or maybe to discover another way to fix a relationship that is long over. I rationalize when I should try again; to maybe make something work. Rationalize why I should or should not say ""no""; to do something for myself because I am worthy.

When I think about all the time I have spent in my head trying to fix the unfixable; to rationalize the irrational; to provide to myself that I am worthy.....what else could I have spent my time pondering? ~ julie

Over the years of my life, I have had to spend some time rehabilitating my physical safe. Whether in the hospital or with a physical therapist, I have had to relearn how to move in my body in a way that was healthy. I was hit by a car when I was a young child, torn my knee up in high school, dislocated my pelvic bone in child birth, significantly sprained my wrist, and really banged up my foot and ankle after two bad falls. Rehabilitation all of my body parts was far easier when I was young than when I was much older.

Today, I am rehabilitating my heart. I can love people without trying to fix them, and I can walk away without feeling guilty. Not everyone is meant to be healed by me. Some lessons aren’t mine to carry. ~ julie

I let myself lose my dignity in an effort to be needed, important, valued, loved. My brother's bullying, name calling, and denigration of who I am, who I was as a child resulted in me making decisions....or allowing myself to be taken advatage of....again and again. I let people violate me because I was so desperate to loved, approved of, worthy of something. That cause is now my healing journey; it is long, hard work to allow myself to be worthy, to have a voice, to give myself dignity....to treat myself with dignity. Did you lose your dignity? ~ julie

I have often shared my need to fix things. That includes fixing when someone does not understand me; does not get me; does not agree with me. It is, as if, I have to make sure they fully understand my decision, opinion, thought, action and if they don't I cannot seem to let it go. I need to make sure they understand me; not that I am right but to validate myself.

Quite some time ago I tried to explain to an ex that I am not responsible for his behavior. He truly believed his behavior is the result of others, and if I just made sure I was always in alignment with him, then he would not rant, yell, curse. No matter how I reworded myself, that I was not responsible for how he responds to me or others.....it was pointless. Have you ever tried to explain something and your abuser looked at you like you are nuts? ~ julie

Guilt has often kept me from saying "no". Today, I am working to consistently relabel my guilt as a signal to pause. Pause and listen; to my mind, my heart, and my gut. If I am feeling guilty, then why? And if I am feeling guilty is it because I want to put myself first in the given situation? And if the latter, then I remind myself that it is okay to put myself first; my needs first; my safety first. What does your guilt tell you? ~ julie
