The Post-Postpartum Depression Blog

Have you ever felt like difficult life lessons just keep coming and challenge you all
the time? I have. I try to notice when it seems like some situations occur repeatedly.
I suppose it’s similar to the way that I notice when I continue to have the same dream.

I recently found myself as I have so many times in the past, facing a difficult choice to do what I always do and avoid confrontation, or to be authentic and speak up. Despite fear of the consequences.. negative feedback and loss of positive regard, I decided to take on the challenge and do the difficult thing. Lo and behold, I found this situation not only helped me to move beyond my fears, but I also found that it created an opportunity for the other person to do something difficult and take the high road.

Take on a challenge to help you, and sometimes even someone else, to grow.
