Do you know that men often suffer from "Delayed Grief" because they aren't allowed to crash when the tragedy actually happens?
When a death or crisis occurs, the man immediately shifts into "Superman Mode." He is consoling the crying women, being strong for the children and trying not to look weak so he can strengthen people around him.
He postpones his own pain to manage the chaos.
By the time he is finally ready to grieve, maybe 6 months later, the world has moved on. If he cries then, he is told to "get over it." So he never processes it. he just calcifies.
I run every day for 20 minutes & if I miss a day, I add 20 minutes to the next day. This has truly been a game changer. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to run for 4 months.
Tryna pay rent while tryna pay bills while tryna knock down old debt while tryna fix your credit while tryna save a little while tryna heal from the stuff you don’t talk about while tryna stay positive when life keep throwing rocks while tryna live right and still forcing a smile through all the pressure… it gets overwhelming, it gets heavy, it’ll have you feeling like life got you in a chokehold, but stay focused, breathe, keep pushing, everything you’re fighting for is lining up even if you can’t see it yet. 😮💨❤️
