We need to monitor what we carry! This insightful knowledge came to me as I was trudging around the track at the gym, carrying two kettlebells and trying to convince myself that the torture was somehow good for me. The reality is, we all carry weight.
Some of it we choose. Some of it we pick up without even realizing. A little pressure here, an expectation there. A regret. A grudge. A voice from years ago telling us we’re not enough. If we’re not careful, we find ourselves dragging things that were never meant to be ours.
And over time, it starts to show in our patience, in our energy, in the way we show up for the people we love. It’s the same for our kids. They carry things, too. Some of it heavy. Some of it hidden. That’s why it matters to check in.
To pause and ask, “Is this helping us grow or just holding us back?” The right weight will make us stronger. The wrong weight wears us down. Let’s take the time to teach our kids the difference. And let’s be brave enough to let them see us set some things down ourselves.
