Hi Friends,
Last night, I went to an event that I honestly did not feel like attending.
I said yes because it was an acquaintance’s milestone birthday party, and it felt important to show up. But to be real, I had a rough week. I have been feeling overwhelmed with my new role and just completely drained.
I did meet a couple of new people, which was nice, but there were so many people there overall that I quickly started to feel like I wanted to escape. I did not actually run away, but I stayed through dinner and then reached my limit. I just could not take it anymore, so I left.
I am sure everyone there was kind and having a great time. My heart just was not in it. But I showed up. I tried. And sometimes that alone is enough.
What I learned about myself is that it is okay to honor my limits. It is okay to choose rest over pushing through just to please others. Showing up matters, but so does knowing when to step away.
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace
Monita
