Let Go To Move Forward

Moments of this past week have been hard. I am building new muscles and adjusting my limitations. This leaves me sore and tired both physically and emotionally.

I know I still need lots of rest. It’s okay that I can’t do all the things I want to yet. However, my fear is that I will slip back into old, destructive patterns.

It used to take me a long time to get started and more energy than I had to keep moving. This condition was caused in part by bad productivity habits and in part by anxiety.

Over time, I came to understand how anxiety controlled me. I felt defeated before I even truly tried. I don’t want to feel like that again.

I have experience to draw on, which means I will not go back to those old ways. I know the signs and actively use techniques to avoid unfavorable patterns. It’s okay to feel tired and worn down, but I am not defeated.

I am on a new journey. I move and feel differently than I did before. I need to take time to feel comfortable in my new skin. I must seek awareness for my new needs and accept them.

There’s still a lot of unknown. That is not cause for fear. I trust myself to be strong enough. I am capable. I am adaptable. I am loved. I am enough. I will persevere.

My theme this week is to let go to move forward. I let go of fear, doubt, and expectation. I shine light into the darkness and be reawakened. I trust my instincts and I trust myself.
