Something I hear a lot from counselors I know is “Meet people where they are.” I found myself thinking about that a lot today and realizing that I have to meet myself where I am. Not where I want to be. Not where I wish I was.
And where I am is: tired. Frustrated. Worn out. A bit embarrassed by my lack of progress, to be honest. But nowhere near ready to quit. Just taking a moment to breathe, regroup, and get the wind back in my sails.
Today I took a few steps to help me along that path. More on that later. Just wanted to say hello, wave, and promise that I am not gone or finished. Just learning how to do this a better way!
