“What is my story?”
I have therapy on Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week. Although I’m getting better, it is still a lot of work. Normally by Tuesday, I’m realizing now, my nervous system is already dysregulated and I urgently need therapy to ground myself. Sometimes I am afraid I have become dependent on therapy and that I might need it for the rest of my life. But we are not there yet; I do hope that at least I can move to once a week instead of two soon.
Lately, I have been working on ideas for my new business, doing research and applying for licenses in the evenings and on Saturday mornings. Today I was feeling overwhelmed by the whole thing so I thought about the blog and writing. The other day when I was feeling on edge, I checked Mark Nepo’s IG page, for inspiration. I saved a quote from him and I try to ground myself with it, often:
“Lift your story like a sandbag and pass it on. It will do more good than you can know.”
Sometimes when my brain is betraying me, I can’t figure out what my story is. I think this is why therapy is so important for me; I need validation.
I keep asking myself that question, “what is your story?” “Why is it important, and how can I lift it?”
I know I have 22 journals with part of my story. I also know I am the story. And I also know I am meant to share it. Maybe parts of it through blogging until I am able to put everything together.
To lift it like a sandbag.
Here,
Paty ♥️
