🌸 THE BLOOM MOVEMENT 🌸
✨ TESTIMONY THURSDAY ✨
One of the hardest things I've learned about healing is that I can't keep abandoning myself and call it love.
I can understand you.
I can have compassion for you.
I can love you.
But I still have to be honest about what I need.
For a long time, we can become so focused on keeping relationships, keeping peace, and making sure everybody else is okay that we forget to ask:
“But what about me?”
Healing taught me that my needs aren't a burden.
My boundaries aren't rejection.
And choosing myself doesn't mean I don't care about anyone else.
It means I finally care enough about myself to stop disappearing inside relationships.
🌿 Grounding for today:
Take three deep breaths and ask:
“Where am I making myself smaller to keep someone else comfortable?”
Don't judge the answer.
Just be honest with yourself.
📖 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Proverbs 4:23
🌸 Today's testimony:
I'm learning that the goal isn't to become someone who needs nobody.
The goal is to become someone who doesn't abandon themselves just to be needed by somebody else.
If you're ready to work through those patterns, rebuild your self-trust, strengthen your boundaries, and reconnect with yourself, message me “BLOOM” about 1:1 coaching.
You don't have to keep figuring out why you keep losing yourself.
Let's do the deeper work.
We heal out loud.
We grow.
We Bloom. 🌸
