I Cried Today
If you are reading this, you have likely experienced sadness or cry-ing level frustration recently and are wondering what that says about you or why you keep doing that. I cried today for a lot of reasons, but I’m really writing this blog to one of my coachees who I know either needs to cry or has been crying a lot and she’s not sharing that. She knows who she is.
I cried today.
Actually I sobbed. Hard.
Like ugly-cry, mascara-running, loss-of-breathe cry.
Why?
Honestly, I was just fed up. I’m in a lot of pain from an old injury that was exacerbated by PT. I’m 21 weeks pregnant. I just finished a busy launch week. One of the kids was home sick this week and my husband was pressuring me about getting contractors to come to the house. It was just enough. Now please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not looking for sympathy. I can look at that list logically and see all the greatness in those challenges. I know that these are minor compared to childhood illness, death, job loss, depression, addiction, etc. SO many things that are WAY worse.
But actually, that’s the point. Actually, what was different about this cry is that because I’ve done so much self-coaching (and being coached) is that I didn’t judge myself when I cried. I just sat there and bawled my eyes out until I didn’t feel like crying…
