Always bracing myself for the next terrible thing to happen.
That podcast let me know that I did not have to like what was happening, but I needed to accept it. Because fighting against it was signaling danger to my nervous system.
I stopped feeling like myself almost a decade ago and did not know why. I now know that when I lost a job in 2016 for the first time in my life that I ended up in survival mode.

Coming back to myself brought such peace, calm, and so much energy.
I missed myself. I remember looking at myself in the mirror and saying to myself: “There you are. I’ve missed you!”
People began telling me I was radiant and that they wanted to be around my energy. My first therapy session after that day felt like I had graduated to the next level of life.
Acceptance has improved my life in so many ways.

Acceptance lead me to accepting myself and eventually loving myself.
I honestly felt like I was never going to get there. I’m beyond grateful to my past self for starting the journey. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way.
