Just because something feels familiar doesn't mean it's good for you. 🍂
I've been thinking about the changing seasons lately.
We watch the trees let go of their leaves every year, and nobody questions it.
But when it comes to people, jobs, relationships, or habits that no longer serve us, letting go suddenly feels so much harder.
And here's something I've learned, both personally and through my work as a therapist:
Sometimes we aren't holding on because something makes us happy. We're holding on because it's what we know.
Even when it hurts.
But saying goodbye doesn't always mean slamming a door. Sometimes it's a boundary, a little more distance, or simply accepting that a chapter has ended.
And yes, you can grieve something even when you know it's time to let it go. 💜
In my newest Wisdom & Wellness blog, “Saying Goodbye to Seasons,” I'm sharing why letting go can feel so difficult and how we can begin making room for something healthier.
