Week 7
Welcome to Day 44 (Tuesday)!
In quiet reflection, I've encountered the concept of codependency and seen how it might be influencing our dance of give and take. It's subtle yet powerful—how we anticipate needs, how we rush to solve problems that aren't ours, and how we find safety in giving, often ignoring our boundaries. This pattern, seemingly rooted in our pasts, shapes our interactions and the unspoken expectations we place on each other, leading to a silent imbalance in our relationship that we might not fully acknowledge.
I've felt the strain of always saying yes, the discomfort in receiving, and even the resentment that follows feeling underappreciated. It's become clear that this cycle of overextending ourselves, of seeking validation in being needed, might not be the healthiest path for us. It's important we learn to find comfort in setting boundaries and to experience the joy of both giving and receiving in equal measure.
