When feeling pulled, stand strong
The moment you most need it will be when you feel the most tempted to abandon it. This is true whether “it” is:
Faith
Self-care
Unconditional love
Understanding
Patience
Self-respect
Boundaries
Anything else useful
If you are considering substituting one of the above things with a less live-giving substitute like fear or blame, recognize this is the most critical moment to let the good stuff lead. This is what you have been learning for.
