I am learning the fine art of disconnect. I am learning that you can do it with the workplace, the holidays, even people. You "show up", you do your best, but you know your heart is not in it. Less hurt, less disillusionment, less vulnerability. You honor your commitment, but in your head you're already gone.
Boy oh boy do I know what you mean sweetie. Sometimes you just have to do it for you sanity. If you don't you will get sucked in and absorbed.
ReplyDeleteLizziegirl, it sounds worse than it is, right?
ReplyDeleteWish I could do that sometimes. I never can and likely never will.
ReplyDeleteIt's new for me, and it certainly does not protect your heart 100%, but it helps.
ReplyDeleteSometimes disconnecting is the best survival mode, and sometimes it is the worst.
