What have you got to lose?

If your personal or professional situation has become unbearable or untenable, it seems important to risk saying your truth.

There are kind ways of saying it, but it does still need be said. To remain in situations that do not agree with us, whether it challenges us ethically, or emotionally, or if something else in the mix does not sit right, the longer it goes on the bigger the consequences.

Often we refuse to listen to the quiet voice that whispers ‘this isn’t working’, usually we mask that thought that warns us of impending danger. What usually tips the balance is when we become physically unwell.

When we are exhausted with silenced internal conflict, we are vulnerable. Thus either we catch the most recent virus or our back begins to ache or old complaints return….

Medicating it away doesn’t fix it because not only have we not addressed the original problem, but we are also stripped of most of our avoidance strategies when we are physically unwell. Perhaps we cannot ‘run away’ or ‘body swerve’ the consequences. Perhaps we are left with ourselves and our own responses to the thing that is bothering us.

So what might happen if we spoke out earlier. What if we listened to ourselves. What if we spoke, gently, out as soon as we noted the discrepancy or the discomfort. Who knows what might be possible with such an early intervention?

And if there is nothing to be done in the short term, then giving it more time and more energy, and even more of your strength and health, will do sweet f.a. To change that….
