You have inspired me to be . . . sort of limitless. I have some limits, based on what my health and physical issues impose on me. But I can even work on those too. I have been prioritizing myself more in recent months, and it is paying off. Nothing huge or major, just a change in the way I think about things and about myself. I have a kind of happiness much of the time that has eluded me for too long. I still struggle with anxiety and doubt, which are a big part of having PTSD. But I also know that I can overcome those, with the right supports, which I do have in place. I have begun structuring my life, as much as I can, around doing the things I want to do, with the people I want to spend my time with. It's not a massive joy it brings . . . but a fairly consistent contentment, which I think is actually better and more sustainable.
I'm glad I'm inspiring you! I get what you're saying about being sort of limitless. We all have limits that are beyond our immediate control. Time, money, physical ability, even though we can control these to an extent, there are often limits that we can't change, especially in the short term. I think getting rid of limiting self-talk is a huge endeavor, and one that can have a ripple effect on everything else. I love what you're doing for yourself and how you're thinking about things. Nothing changes if we don't think about or confront it, and you're doing so much of that. It's really fantastic.
I feel all of this. Glad to be on this parallel trajectory with you!
Yes! Parallel trajectory - I love that! And you, friend.
