Weakness vs strength. Being perceived as weak usually equates with brokenness, something being wrong. As such, most of our curated lives are from the place of managing ourselves and organizing our worlds so we always appear...strong. In Control.
But if we are honest with ourselves, the amount of energy required to maintain this appearance of having it all together, of being "strong", of not showing emotions or anything related to emotions is exhausting. Can we just shed the baggage and be ourselves?
That's the crux of my work around #thestrongone. As we consider our inner lives, I would challenge you to consider if any of the above is true for you. Do you feel you are strong when you are NOT feeling?
It is human to feel.
It is human to have moments of brokenness.
It is human to be "weak".
And if we are honest, it takes great strength to admit that you are scared. To admit that you are not okay. To own the places of insecurities.
This month we dig deeper in how we define ourselves based on these misconceptions of strength. #drgiasays #digdeeper #cyclebreaker #truestrength #renouncingshame #intentionalliving #Jesusplustherapy #Christiantherapists #secureidentity #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthishealthtoo
