1114: Use the plasters!
Today I'm sharing a really helpful reminder, and some really powerful questions to help you give yourself more of what you need!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, daily peppers. And a very happy Friday to you. We have made it to the end of the week. Now, I started off this week on the daily path both talking about my new adventures in the gym and also about how we're all climbing metaphorical mountains. And I'm wrapping it all up in a neat bow by talking about something that can connect both the gym and climbing mountains, and that is the blisters that can come with a new pair of shoes. It's fair to say that we've probably all had that experience of blisters on the back of our ankles or cuts on the back of our ankles from new shoes. For me, for a lot of my life, I was a hard fast dm wearer, and I knew that whenever I got a new pair, and my goodness, I would make them last, I was in for grueling 1st week. I put on a really thick pair of socks.
I put on all the plasters because that's kind of just what you do when you've got really sore and bloody ankles. Now I'm bringing this up today because I have very sore ankles thanks to my new trainers. And I was just reflecting on how easy that decision is of how my ankles hurt. They're bleeding. I need plasters. We don't really put much thought into it. We don't think about whether we deserve plasters. It's more like, oh, shit.
Where are the plasters? Do I have any plasters? Rather than having to justify using them in the first place. Yet there are so many areas of our lives where we simply deprive ourselves of our needs. While there certainly are no fixes for everything in life, for quite a lot of things, there are equivalents of plasters. But if we're really to roll with this whole bloody ankle plaster thing, we tell ourselves that we can only use a plaster when the blood is streaming down our legs, or the pain is so unbearable that we can't even stand up. Now if we go back to literal plasters for a second, it's not about solving the entire problem. Essentially, it comes down to 2 things, and that is finding a sense of comfort or finding a bit of relief. And that's where I really wanna focus on. In what areas of your life are you depriving yourself of some comfort or some relief because you feel like you have to earn it, or you feel like the pain has to be worse to justify supporting yourself or reaching out? And in what areas of your life are you continuously putting on the pair of shoes, maybe lacing them up even tighter, and just telling yourself you've got to deal with it.
Now I get that these are not particularly comfortable, pun intended, questions, but they're also really important because we all deserve love. We all deserve support, and we don't have to qualify for that from ourselves or from other people only when the shit hits the fan. So my courageous challenge for you over the weekend is to have a think about what metaphorical plaster would be really helpful for you in your life that maybe you've been depriving yourself of or maybe you've not even really thought about. What is something that, to go back to the theme of this week, would make your life a bit easier, would make this period a little bit less challenging, and would provide a bit of comfort or relief. So have a think about it. Remember that often when we feel our weakest, we are usually exercising a huge amount of courage and that courage usually doesn't feel a lot like courage at the time. And remember that you are allowed to ask for help, including from yourself. So happy Friday, my loves. We made it. Here's to using the plasters. And I'll see you on Monday.
