I have realised that I have been telling myself a story about my not so distant past that has been keeping me stuck in negativity.
The last year has seen massive changes in my workplace and personal life – structural changes at work and divorce at home. I did not instigate these changes.
The story has been one of victimhood. I didnt ask for this, this was pushed on me, this wasn’t my fault blah blah blah.
All very true.
All very negative and making me feel stuck.
How do I move from this place to a place where I am empowered even though I have no power over the fact that my work has changed dramatically and my husband isn’t coming back?!
Complete power over others and circumstances is a myth.
Freedom to choose how you think about your life however, is always an option.
With work.
So the landscape changed. You get to decide if you stay or leave. Decide and do it with love.
With your marriage.
The landscape changed. You get to decide if it makes you bitter or makes you stronger. You can love him and let him go, in fact, love means you want him to be free to be who he wants to be.
I dont pretend this is not painful. Please know this. Life hurts like hell sometimes. I just want you to know that you can heal and grow from this.
