"We All Need Somebody to Lean On"

Are you a rock?  If your identity is emotionally attached to being the strong one, can you take a step back to make sure you are being taken care of? "We all need somebody to lean on."

It's awesome to know people count on us.  Do you have someone you can count on?  A friend mentioned her husband saves a special brand of soda for her that other family members aren't aware of, that's cool.  Do you have someone who brings you coffee in bed on the weekends?  If someone does that for you every day, he or she is a "keeper"!!  

Most people are over-committed during the week, can you allow yourself to be taken care of during your downtime?  If you don't have someone to bring you coffee, maybe pay for a massage or find someone, paid or unpaid, to listen to you for a while.  With meet-up and other support groups, there are many opportunities to share.

Those who don't have that person, paid or unpaid, may fall into unhealthy patterns to release stress.  My goal is that we have a gentle awareness or what we do and why we do it, not a "brick over the head" just a light and gentle thought of why we make choices.

Life is supposed to be FUN!!  We are supposed to enjoy our human experience!!  If you feel unsupported, try to find healthy ways to support yourself.  Please make sure you schedule time for yourself.

Have a great day!!
