Turn Into the Skid
A Counterintuitive Approach to Problem-Solving
What do you do when you know the brakes aren’t going to save you?
Moving on from a bad relationship, the loss of someone close, or divorce can be a difficult thing to do. Moving on from any chapter in life is a grieving exercise.
Some days it seems impossible to even get out of bed, let alone function at work, without thinking about how your life is supposed to move on and yet you are still standing in place.
In my experience, the biggest obstacle in moving forward after a traumatic event is attachment. It’s the fear that if you let go of that attachment it will be giving up. That it will be losing or not dealing with what has happened.
What if that’s exactly what you need?
We are so afraid of not being enough.
When we feel like we aren’t enough, we hold onto attachments from when we were little kids. Could we not please our caregivers? Do we default to people pleasing now because we feel like imposters?
When was the last time you sat in your discomfort and allowed something bigger to emerge from it?
Unlearning isn’t easy.
