Words from the heart

This post is my take on #effort from the perspective of a bereaved mom on a healing journey.

In the episode, EFFORT is described as directing our energy towards our actions.  What about inaction? It also takes EFFORT in choosing to do nothing.  We put our energy towards applying brakes on the forward momentum that is life.  It takes a lot of effort to hide and stay in hiding when we place our energy into escaping pain. But while we’re doing everything we can to escape our reality, life continues to keep moving forward.  Then we fall behind, and the more behind we  are, the harder it is to catch up with life.  Then life feels impossible.  Why even try?
