Releasing the Weight on Your Shoulders

Sometimes when we are on the cusp of change, it can feel like the weight of the world rests on our shoulders.

Much of what is happening around us can feel out of control. Standing up and speaking out for what is just and right gives us a sense of purpose, an opportunity to take back our power.

Frequently, change comes at a slower rate than we would like. We have the choice in these times to persevere in coming together and uniting, or to isolate in despair and self-protection. To open our hearts to something greater or to withdraw further into our silos.

What the pandemic and the #blacklivesmatter movement has revealed is how we are all inextricably connected. Our actions, unconscious or deliberate, impact each other. Moving forward, we have an opportunity to create a better, more equitable world for everyone.

When the weight on your shoulders feels unsupportable, the challenges daunting, there are self-care tools to support you in being the positive change you seek.
