One of the worst feelings in this world is feeling as if you’ve just taken 10 steps back after moving forward more than you could have imagined.
First, there is a sense of disbelief… Then come the anger and then the anguish of hopelessness.
It’s frustrating, and it’s sent me into a downward spiral of not knowing what to say or do.
I am at a loss for words, but there’s an urgency within me to locate myself in this moment. To keep moving forward. It has to happen.
So, how do you retake those steps? How do you pivot in a way that returns you to that freeing space you just experienced?
I don’t know if these words make much sense. But I know that ignoring them isn’t an option. Silence won’t lead anywhere fruitful.
Sometimes, the most important thing is simply to acknowledge the setback, to sit with it, and to breathe through it.
And then, somehow, to begin again.
