On any given day, there’s a choice.
A choice between giving into our feelings, physical state, overwhelm…
Or being our commitment, regardless of what comes up.
The former is easy. The latter takes something.
The former is common and ordinary. The latter is uncommon and extraordinary.
When the unwanted and unexpected does arise, the temptation is to want to escape. But escaping isn’t going to solve anything. The breakdown will still be there when you get back. No matter how well you ignore it or avoid it, the breakdown will keep gnawing at you.
Most breakdowns go unacknowledged and undeclared. And there’s no power in that.
When you have a breakdown, declare a breakdown. That will get you back into power, and you can continue to be your commitment.
