Why your coping skills are failing you....
Dear Soul,
Let’s face it, most of us were taught to push through. I know I was. I was taught to push, force, and grind all the time. Because If I didn’t, then nothing was happening on any level.
The problem is no one shared how much it would affect my soul, mind and body. Did you hear these things too?
"Be strong."
"Stay positive.”
“Oh, come on you got this. Keep going.”
Don’t stop now, things will fall through.”
“Rest tomorrow.”
Oh you have the weekend off, so rest then.”
"You’ll bounce back."
When is enough, enough? But when you’re in an identity collapse — these strategies don’t work.Because you’re not just managing a bad day in full-on anxiety or panic attacks and on medication..
You are experiencing a death of self.
The old self is dissolving. The mask you wore no longer fits.And yet… you still feel obligated to pretend you’re okay.
👉 You try to stay busy.
👉 You distract yourself with work.
👉 You numb with food, gambling, drinking excess on weekends or marketing events, scrolling, or people-pleasing.
But inside you feel:
Empty
Closed
Disconnected
Lost
Lonely
Because your spiritual body is screaming for a deeper kind of healing.
This is not a mindset issue.
This is a soul wound.
Aren't you ready to feel free and unhook yourself?
I am here when you are ready!
Lots of love,
Joann
