The sword, the knot, and the facts for this exact moment of acceptance
I’m lying on a rug at my in-laws, trying to calm the pressure of my week’s to-dos, is Happy Baby a restorative yoga pose? I just want to feel calm. I raise my hands above my head and rest my heels on the sofa, Legs on Couch definitely feels restorative. After two breaths staring at the living room ceiling, the thought arrives: I’m in workaholic mode. I’m trying to do everything and be everywhere, again. No one is pressing me for perfection except my old habits.
I’ve recognized my workaholism since the Big Shutdown and am actively trying to shed it. Like most habits, my workaholism is an unconscious action so changing it takes extra consciousness. This affirmation helps:
I am genuine.
Like a sword through the heart of Imposter Syndrome, this affirmation pierces who I am instead of what I do. It shifts my operating center from my demanding brain into my connecting heart. Quietly and clearly, urging me to be instead of do.
