Something I’ve seen in women (and has been confirmed by therapists) over the years leads me to post this:
Be careful about shutting down to your pain;
you may be shutting down to your joy also.
It was definitely true for me.

To Do:
It’s probably easy to know if you’ve been avoiding the pain in your relationship, but also look closely at your life: Have you had much true joy, lately? Have you been having to fake your happiness? Is there a truth inside you that you keep trying to bury under food or alcohol or shopping or (like me) busyness?
Then ask yourself, “Am I ready to have my joy back? Is it time to get my life back?”
