Getting Over The Hump by Diana Reyes Williams
I got over the hump. What does that mean? Well, I was down in the dumps. Feeling my feelings and trying to snap out of it. It took me a bit to recognize that I lost myself for a moment. I was still functioning but I felt a sense of sadness. Missing my parents and sulking in what I felt was a sense of overwhelming grief. I was taking things personally and that too went deep. I'm back to feeling like myself but when this happens it's a battle. I took a mental time-out while moving on with my many tasks and responsibilities. That's what tough people do right? We push forward. Today I finished an assignment that will likely result in a generous retirement package for our client. I feel good. I feel accomplished and I broadened my knowledge. I will admit that my business partner and I are badasses.
How many times do you question why you are feeling the way you do? Sometimes I think the world is reminding us we need a time-out. Reminding us of what's important and who is important. I have the habit of giving my time and energy to others first and myself last, and I have to remind myself to set boundaries. How many of you can relate? For now I got my Diana vibe back and I'm ready to see where the new road leads. This year is almost over, yet I'm using this last month to self-absorb. Yep! I'm self-absorbing and unapologetic. Try it out and don't feel guilty. Remember, one day at a time. We are all fighting battles others know nothing about so I'm going to lighten up and enjoy the long and winding road. May you pick up your step, dance to the beat that pounds from your heart and do you, your way, unapologetically.
