I pride myself on bending but not breaking. Being inflating in the face of impossible pressure and obstacles.
I may need to talk to a professional about this, but it is my truth.
Recently… I’ve been pushed harder, further, and for longer than any other time in my life outside of the series of lives lost that my family went through.
But this time… I know my limits better. I know me better. And I know I want to show up for those I love with the best me I can muster.
So I “take a knee”. Yep just like in sports when you e just finished something really hard. You don’t lie down. You don’t quit. You don’t sit on your but. You take an intentional moment to catch your breath. Then you get up and go at it even harder than before.
I’m finding myself taking more and more knees. 5 minutes here. 15 minutes there. On really bad spiral moments, an hour. But, I also believe I’m showing up better for those I love when I’m not taking a knee.
So take a knee. That me time is need time, and you’ll be better overall for it!
