Figuring S**t Out
Welcome to the Figuring Sh!t Out Podcast! Every single day, all of us are just trying to live and get through life. Every day we're learning, growing, and evolving (hopefully, lol) into better people! So, come on this journey with me as I just talk my shit about the every day things that we all experience and go through and give my opinion about it all! I in no way claim to be an expert in any field. I'm not a doctor, a psychiatrist, self-help guru. I'm just a 30 something woman who's living life the best way I can and just trying to figure it all out! I hope my perspective can be a new one that someone can relate!
Let's continue to experience life and just figure shit out!
Figuring S**t Out
Give People the Opportunity to Show Up
It's normal, espeically in todays day and age, to feel like we have to handle and deal with all of our problems by ourselves. We feel like we can only let people in when things are going well. Or when we have something to celebrate. When things are only going right in our lives. But that's so far from the truth. Most of us don't go to others because we feel like we don't have anyone we can actually go to. Or we feel like we're going to "be a burden" or we're "bothering" people if we reach out. I've come to learn and understand though that we have to work hard to change that mindset and perspective. You can't say that you are alone and you don't have anyone to turn to, if you in face NEVER turn to the people in your life. If you don't reach out and let those around you know that you need them, in whatever capacity that may be...then how can you honestly say you have to go through things alone? There's a difference between genuinely NOT having anyone you can go to, and CHOOSING not to reach out to the people in your life.
Fact of the matter is, we all have demons to fight, trauma to face, and baggage that we are all carrying. (and hopefully, working to unpack, lol). But the most important thing we have to understand when it comes to having people in our lives that love and care about us, is that we have to give them opportunity to show up for us. If you need someone to talk to; call or text them. If you need someone to spend time with to help get your mind off rough times, let them know and make the plans.
Let people show you that they want to, and can, show up for you. Especially before you just decide that you're living in this world completely alone.
I appreciate you for tuning into my rambles and rants! Thanks for listening :)
