No More Guilt Trips — LOH #271

avatar

Well, unlike before, at the beginning of this year, I didn't write long list of resolutions and all. That was so unlike me. There are a lot of things I knew I would have promised myself.

But this year, it was different, the list of what I would prioritize, what I'm aiming to achieve and all are both big and small. And there comes in those things I'm also planning to release.

This year, I promised myself not to pressure myself at all. So, that's something I'm releasing. There's this feeling of not doing enough, of not giving enough, of not showing up for people enough and all that has really weigh me down. I can very well remember the various things I've had to do for others that really stretched me, and it seems all was just to prove a point—that I'm trying. Even still.....

I would stay up late at night to respond to certain messages, I would go so far into doing certain things, maybe in helping, giving out and all, and if I didn't do it, I would feel guilty for not. With all of that, I would still be feeling some sort of guilt, some feelings like I still haven't down enough. And that feeling kept pushing and stretching me to just do more.

But this year, I'm putting that down. Not as if I would stop responding to people, I won't stop helping or giving out as well. I'm no longer stretching myself to do anything. It wasn't that easy, because I'm the type who's always there, readily available.

Even when I myself am facing things, I would still show up, I would still help and all. Now, it's time to start saying no when it's needed and not feel guilty for it.

These days, I no longer explain myself to people, believe what you want, at the end of the day, I'm human too, and for the little that I can do, give and doing, he/she who feels I ain't doing enough should pick it up from wherever I stop.

I will be taking my time to rest, to breathe, to not stretch myself and to do what I can. The year has just begun, but I've started, and I'm seeing a lot of changes.

Setting huge goals can feel burdensome in the long run. It is good that you have decided to go minimal and live your life on your own terms.
