Today, I experienced a plethora of emotions and feelings. I felt tired, excited, impatient, upset, overwhelmed, homesick, content, pleased, happy, grateful, this list could go on. I have fear that feeling all of these feelings all in one day is unmanageable. I have felt pushed to my limits today in so many ways. But at the end of the day, I am happy with where I am at, with how I kept pushing when I wanted to give up, and the ability to just take a break and cry when I really needed it.
I hold myself to high and sometimes impossible standards when it comes to my capacity for each day. This tends to lead to a narrative that I am not doing enough or the desire to be different than I am. Changing this narrative around, however, I see that I have extreme depth to my emotions, I am sensitive and empathetic towards others, I am not a machine but a human, and taking breaks is healthy. Everything that I feel is completely valid.
I am proud of myself and who I am. I am doing my best, I am in tune with myself and my needs, and I am accomplishing great things. I am grateful for the position I am in right now.
Itís nearly impossible to find educated people about this subject, however, you seem like you know what youíre talking about! Thanks
Thank you!
