Who is clapping for your depletion
There are people in your life whose relationship with you runs on your exhaustion. They are not bad people. They are people who have organized their own comfort around your inability to stop.
The applause is real. I know it feels like love. In some cases, it is love, mixed in with something else. The two are not exclusive. But the thing mixed in is worth seeing.
This week, I want you to notice who celebrates when you push past your limits and who celebrates when you take care of yourself. The two lists may not be identical.
You can love people who need too much of you. You can also love them differently, with a limit that lets you remain present for the relationship rather than consumed by it.
Your depletion serves no one as well as your wholeness would.
