Releasing the Weight of Work
Oct 24, 2023
There comes a time where we wake up and realize that we aren't living our dreams, we are living a lie.
We work hard, we strive, we overproduce, we sacrifice, we wake up on autopilot, and keep going through the motions even though we are unhappy and are feeling lost and empty on the inside.
We look to others for inspiration and only feel judgement.
We look at ourselves and we don't even recognize the person we've turned into.
We deprive, we restrict, we abuse, we numb, we buy, we consume, and still nothing fills the deep void from within.
We don't think that there will ever be an end to the misery until we sit with ourselves and get real honest with ourselves.
Your truth might be very different from my truth, but as a little girl I wanted to be a mother.
I wanted to live a simple life and I wanted to make a lot of money.
But one day that pursuit of making more money consumed my entire life. From the minute I woke up in the morning, to every moment of the day all I thought about was my work, my business, what to eat, what to wear, what I needed to get done, marketing, sales, social media, and it was a bad addiction.
I didn't realize it at the time but this addiction to my work was slowly killing me.
It was robbing me of my life and my happiness until one day I decided to stop working and I started to honour what my heart and soul was truly trying to tell me.
Which was to stop, rest, and to truly take care of myself and my family and let God take care of me and provide for me.
It was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. All of the pressure, stress, responsibility, personal shame, guilt, frustration, exhaustion, and regret I was carrying on the inside was all gone and I no longer had to carry the burden of having the weight of the entire world on my shoulders.
It was liberating.
It was freedom.
So you might be thinking now what?
Well, you live.
You get back to being yourself.
You let go, surrender, and trust.
You decide that you're no longer willing to stay someplace you don't belong and you believe in yourself and something bigger.
