A Rubber-Duck-Loving Woman is my Guru

I was just reading a post from Havi Brooks and it's about her working with her fears. Not confronting them, not berating them, not hiding from them, but rather negotiating with them. BRILLIANT.

I don't know what my fears are, what they look or sound like, or what they mean. I feel like I don't know myself at all. I think know that I am hiding from my true self because I don't think I'll like what I'll see there.

In the last 10 months, during some of the fights with the husband, he has said some things that were brutal. Some were true, most were not, but the ones that I know are true about me were very saddening. I don't like me. I don't like the person I have become.

I don't know who I'm trying to impress but I really don't think it's working. I spread myself too thin and every takes a hit.

It's time to regroup, reprioritize, and get off my lazy ass.
