When You Start to Lose Yourself

Hey, my friend,

Have you ever gone through a stretch of days where everything feels a bit blurry, and you realize you have been moving without really being present?

It happens so quietly sometimes that you do not notice it right away.

You keep saying yes to things because it seems like the easiest choice.

You show up where you are needed, and push your own needs to the side without meaning to, because there is always something else asking for attention first.

They describe it as losing yourself, and it does not happen in a single moment.

It happens in little pieces.

You miss the things that used to matter to you.

You stop paying attention to what you feel, my friend.

You keep going because that is what the day requires.

But then you look up and realize you feel far from the person you remember being.

You can involuntarily lose yourself in the chaos of life, but at some point, you start to notice that you want yourself back.

You want a sense of direction, you want to feel present again instead of moving on autopilot.

If that feels familiar, it might be a good time to decide what stays and what goes from your life, my friend.

Not everything deserves your energy, and not everything deserves a yes.

You are allowed to put yourself back in the center of your own life.

And that does not mean you stop caring. It just means you stop disappearing for yourself.

Since it is Monday, maybe you can make that start today.

Choose one thing that is not yours to carry and set it down.

Let the week begin with some space to breathe for yourself and not pressure to perform.

I hope you’ll keep that in mind and do it, my friend.

That is it for today…….No wait

Before leaving, say hi to Choco and Honey.

They’re two new friends of mine, and they’re eager to become friends with you as well.

In the upcoming days, you’ll meet them frequently, and they are here to help us look at life from a clearer place.

So, if you’re excited to meet them, hit reply, and please let me know. I would love to hear from you, my friend.

That is it for today, and see you tomorrow.

Take care,
