🦹♀️ Patterns that don’t fit reality
Book of TREE 3.33
‘I should be helping.’
This is what I was thinking nearly three years ago as the movers carried my possessions from my house to their van. Never mind that I paid them a bunch of money to move my stuff. Never mind that I had other things I needed to be doing.
‘I should be helping.’

The service ethic is so drilled into me, so much a part of me that sometimes it points me in the wrong direction. Sometimes it makes me feel bad about things that would have no emotional effect on someone else.
There’s nothing big or profound here, just a reminder that life changes, growth happens and your thoughts and emotions don’t always keep up. Sometimes your patterns of feeling and thinking need an update and that’s totally fine and normal.
Not a Billy Joel song.
Grow slowly
