Getting Closer...a work in progress

 

A couple of years ago a patient of ours made us a wall hanging with this quote on it. It was inspiring of course because the quote itself is...but the fact that it came from her made it that much more. 

 We didn't fix her, we can't do that. We provided her with the tools, the support and education she needed to help herself. And she did. And she took that with her and continues to help herself. 

 We do the same thing for ourselves every time we use the tools we have learned, we make a healthy choice, we forgive ourselves when we don't. We fit in a workout, or attend a workshop and feel good about it. We make the choice to support others on this wellness journey and accept their support in return. 

 I am so much farther ahead than I was 3 years ago. I am a work in progress. No one can "fix" me. I need to put in the work, I need to use the tools I was given and apply what I've learned to help myself.
