Giving Yourself the Space to Heal
from Quiet Mirror Moments™ Hosted by Deborah Blignaut from Quietly Confident Women™
Sometimes life stops us whether we planned for it or not. After two unexpected weeks away from the podcast, I found myself having to face something I think many of us find incredibly difficult: accepting that there are times when we simply cannot control what happens next. I had commitments. I had clients. I had work I wanted to do. And yet my body needed something completely different from me. It needed me to stop. In this episode of Quiet Mirror Moments™, I talk about what those two weeks taught me about control, responsibility and giving myself the space to heal without making myself feel guilty for the people I might be letting down. Because this wasn't about Self Worth. My Self Image didn't cause what happened to me. Sometimes things happen that we could never have predicted or prevented. But the relationship we have with ourselves becomes part of the story in how we respond when they do. I couldn't control how quickly my body would heal. I couldn't control how other people would respond to my cancelled commitments. But I could recognise something I'd almost forgotten: I am important in this too. Perhaps caring for ourselves isn't about putting ourselves above everybody else. Perhaps it's simply about remembering to include ourselves amongst all the people and things we feel responsible for. 🤍 Deborah Quietly Confident Women™
