I’ve been feeling stagnant in my own recovery and patterns. Thank you for the reminder that “all is not still.” I will be thinking of those words going into the new week.
Grace, I’m sorry you have been feeling stagnant! Old patterns are so hard to break, but I’d bet you’ve made progress you don’t give yourself credit for. I hope this week you can see and sense movement in the bigger picture of your life 💛 keep going!
I'm so sorry and so happy for you. So sorry things feel stagnant and you're not where you want to be, but so happy you're able to notice the good changes right now. I'm feeling stagnant too, and, not only that, but trapped in that position. Without more funds I can't take the time or pay for the therapy I need to get in a better place mentally/emotionally - and physically for that matter. Without improving my health, I simply can't find a way to make more money or spend less. Honestly, (fellow US resident here) you'd think we'd be at a point where finances wouldn't be such an obstacle, but here we are.
I don't have any advice or inspiration right now, just commiseration. And it's nice to know we're not alone.
Thank you for sharing, Laura! It sounds like you’re in a very frustrating situation! I wish it wasn’t so hard to access good health care, especially mental health services. Sometimes even the effort to stay afloat is monumental, and in my book, that counts as movement to be proud of 💛
Leslie--I appreciate this comment because after I wrote it I started second-guessing that my small steps aren’t really all that audacious. (But that’s the focusing on the negative creeping back in.)
Thank you, Krista! I know I needed this perspective shift and was hoping it would resonate with others. You are always helping me see situations in a new light 💛
I've been feeling stagnant I'm pursuit ofy creative dreams. I want that to be my thing, and I do create in soany ways, but the pull of family and health and my ownental limitations make me put it all on the back burner.
I don't have a big "however" with this, but I suppose I at least haven't given up.
Laura, I relate to your frustration of putting creative dreams on the back burner (even for good reasons!). In the short time I’ve known you, I’ve seen you take creative steps AND care deeply for yourself and your family. I would say not giving up is a BIG however. I hope you can sense glimmers of movement and be encouraged.

Thank you! That actually feels really nice to hear. I guess it is movement of a kind to stay in place when you're fighting against the current.
Hope you have a great semester!
Love this and what a great perspective
I love your use of “audacity!”

Such a beautiful image (literally) of the how impact our perspective can have on our beliefs about our selves and our lives.
