Things I had to unlearn to heal
Some of the hardest things I had to unlearn weren’t habits. They were beliefs. The belief that being strong meant carrying everything alone. The belief that rest had to be earned. The belief that my worth was tied to how much I could endure. The belief that healing had to be hard.
