A large part of my healing journey, especially over the last few years, has been learning ways to cope with and escape from my past traumas and present day struggles that continue to allow others, undeserving others that is, to steal my mental energy and take up valuable space in my head.
Healing is hard. It’s been a constant battle. I am easily overwhelmed and triggered on a daily basis, but I made a promise to myself to work at being more gentle on myself. I’m learning ways for which I can protect that prime real estate in my head from the unwanted squatters. Nourishing it by surrounding myself with people who I know will only add value to my precious property and knowing that it’s more than okay to serve eviction notices where necessary.
Today, I went for a swim at my mother in law’s condo. I dipped my feet first before diving in, drowning out all the squatters who try to steal my mental energy and take up undeserving rent-free space in my head.
One lap at a time.
