A new journey

Today I begin my new journey in being control of my own life. For the past however long, I was living my life for someone else. I've unplugged from the negativity and have started to look for another job. I've been told for a long time to just stay put and don't change. I realize I'm not getting the right kind of support from people around me. That added to my self limiting beliefs. How can that be? Especially people who I think love me? Why wouldn't they want me to do better in life? Whatever the reason is, I am not listening to those voices anymore. I am changing their responses as comments instead of permission. I don't need anyone's permission to live my own life.

Wish me luck and I wish you all luck in your own journeys. Always do what you can when you can. We're here to move forward and it's OK to break and rest. We will all get to where we want to be.

Be well and hop your week is full of treats instead of tricks. :)

Sounds like you’re on the right track and I’m impressed with your attitude towards the problems you face.

As a massive overthinker who struggles to make even the smallest decisions I find it truly amazing that you are able to do it

thank you overthought. I’m just sick of feeling the same disappointment. I learned that true insanity comes from expecting different outcomes by doing the same thing. I’m sick of doing the same thing so trying something different. I hope you don’t let your overthinking limit your life choices. Some times you might want to stop thinking and take action. You might be surprised by the outcome. I wish you well!

That's exactly why I moved. It was stale in the old town, bad memories, so my son and carer and I sold the house and moved nearly 300 miles to Wales! Great new place to explore, new things to do, people to meet, new language although most speak English.

Cheers, Midori

Hi Midori, thank you for your understanding. I wish I can move too but I have to wait a few years for tax purposes. I guess in the long run it'll save us some money but for now I am learning to manage my own anxiety. I hope your new location fill your life with all the love and warmth that you deserve.

Be well!

Thank you Skyp. I’m always a cheerleader to others, I’m learning to be my own cheerleader. Hope to share good news soon! I feel like I’m already halfway there just by starting. I wish you well!

They don't won't you to get better because they don't won't to get better. If they did, they would have to look at themselves and have to change some things. It's not you, their supposed love for you is conditional. It will be hard to distant yourself from these people that's all you know. Let me encourage you, you are going in the right direction it just may not feel that way right now. You keep going, you are worth it.
