The Power of One

The POWER of ONE.
Yes, we’ve all heard the expression.
But I want you to REALLY think about it…

You just need ONE thought, or ONE emotion, or ONE action, or ONE person to believe in you. ONE person willing to listen. ONE person to hold you. ONE person to tell you it’s going to be okay. Just ONE… That is all…

Until I experienced the power of one for myself, it was just another expression. Just another number to play with… 3… 2… 1…

It took 3 years of trying (and failing) to repair the damaged relationship.
It took 2 more years of staying in a relationship that was doomed, because of my own SHAME, and because I was “doing it for the kids”.
And it took ONE incident, to flip the switch and find the courage to leave.
ONE incident that finally pushed me to say out loud, “NO MORE!”
And I turned my back, filled with fear, and walked away.

I had always been the strong one, the brave one, the happy one, but slowly over the years I allowed my very essence to be sucked out of me.

I had been living in a quagmire for so long, that my thoughts were no longer my own.

I felt empty. I felt resentful, and I felt very alone.
I didn’t trust anyone enough to speak to them.
I was dealing with it on my own, and it was a shit place to be.

I finally reached out to ONE person, to share a tiny little piece of my truth, and everything changed for me.

I realised I was not crazy.
I realised I was not a bad person.
I realised I was not alone.

Our minds are incredible! We just need to learn how to harness the power of our minds, and our lives can change dramatically.

I know this.
I have done this.
I felt the release.
I felt the relief.
And I felt the fog I had been existing in, start to clear.

And I fucking owned that moment, and never looked back!
