Healing Milestone #1
I no longer feel the stranglehold of “shoulds”.
Therapists sometimes ask the Miracle Question – if you woke up tomorrow, and everything was as you would like it to be, how would you know? What would be different?
Sometimes when I do daily tasks, I can feel the lack of the weight that used to burden every part of my existence.
Shoulds use to paralyze me. I’d feel like I was spinning and getting nowhere. An old roommate described me as a hurricane. I felt like I was drowning and no matter how much and how hard I swam, that I could never quite reach the surface.
Today I take care of myself in ways I didn’t think were possible. Today I feel precious and free.
