Monday Masterblog: Behind the wall

This year I turn 46 and, like many people, all these years have been full of trial and error.

My years in a nutshell:
Wanting to belong in primary and secondary school, heartbreak, death of family, lost judo competitions, broken relationships, hospital, severe depression, etc.

I didn't see myself as valuable enough and when negative things happened or when I didn't want to talk about something, I closed down and became stiff and silent.

In my head I hid behind a wall, that's how I pictured it.
Because behind that wall no one could do anything to me, it was safe for me and gave me a (temporary) feeling of security.

It didn't change the situation, yes for that moment, but it didn't change me either.

The only thing I didn't think about was that I can be there too, that I am also valuable and that no one is more than the other.

I forgot myself and put other people on a pedestal. I gave a lot of my energy to others, because I wanted to be there for them and showed a lot of pleasing behavior.

Health is not only physical, but it is also in your head.

If you are not strong enough in your mind, or cannot accept how your past turned out, or even this moment in your life, nothing will change unless you make strong decisions.

You are the one in control, you are the one who can make choices and actually make changes in your life (unless you are not seriously ill).

I broke that wall down to the ground with my fists and feet years ago.

To stop letting thoughts influence my life, by taking action and saying goodbye to people who did not motivate or inspire me, but cost me a lot of energy.

It is a process that you work on every day, the result you achieve will give you a lot of strength and energy.

So break through that wall, be the powerful version of yourself, step forward and show who you really are.

Be kind, valuable and honest.
But above all, don't forget yourself!
