I’m a better person because I started going to therapy.

It has been one of the greatest things I’ve ever done for myself and for the people in my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finding a great therapist isn’t easy. It took me 5 tries over about a year and a half to find mine and I lost hope multiple times during that period.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But now, every Monday, I get an hour to work on me. And I’m better because of it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve learned how to separate myself from my thoughts and my emotions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m aware of how my words and actions impact other people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I find myself setting heathy, clear boundaries.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m more in touch with how I’m feeling + why I’m feeling that way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve learned to communicate what’s coming up for me right when it does.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My relationships are more mutually beneficial.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My relationship with Jake feels like we’re in the fucking honeymoon phase all over again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hell yeah, I have hard days. There are days that I don’t want to go. There’s days that it sucks. But I keep going back.

Maybe your thing isn’t therapy. Maybe you journal + do self work, maybe you go to Reiki, maybe you have a life coach, or maybe it is therapy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Emotional stress plays a key role in our health because it can manifest as illness + disease.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The emotional work is just as important as what we eat and how we exercise.
