It’s not you…
The path to reclaiming your joy and purpose begins with a willingness to forgive - to forgive all those times you blamed yourself for losing your joy; forgive all those times you punished yourself for feeling stuck or sad. The path begins with compassion for yourself, with recognition that none of this was EVER your fault, with relief at the realisation you are not broken or in need of fixing - and a powerful reminder that you are also not a helpless victim in this scenario.
Reclaiming your joy might not be a quick fix, but it is a worthwhile endeavour.
