Thanks for all of your well thought out comments! So fun to read.

Chrissy-of course you’re ‘allowed’ to do this with anything. It’s all up to you and what you want in your life, and the consequences you’re willing to live with to reach that!

Janice-hang in there!!! Yay for being almost done!

I’m almost done with my “tethered” project, but you’re right– working on it can feel like death. On the other hand, it will be a new passive stream of income when it’s done. And it’s almost done and I’m going to have one big fat party to celebrate when it’s finally buried!

If I’d read this sooner, I may very well have passed the project on, because I really could use that space in my life. Almost done. Almost done….

I have been feeling tethered to a person. Not just tethered but emotionally beaten, drained and I have allowed it out of guilt. This person is my father.

I actually did a cleansing ritual which I may have to do over and over. I handed him back all his crap and shaming and then help up my arms to allow God’s peace and freedom to come over and fill me.

I am not willing to cast him out of my life , at least not yet, so will need to repeat this exercise and keep being assertive so as not to retether myself.
Thank you.

“Your energy around this says to the world: Eeyore.” I love the image!

After reading this I realized that this is something I experienced just this week, I wondered where all my renewed energy and enthusiasm came from. It truly is a refreshing thing to do. Thanks for writing it out – it’s now even better savored understood.

Are we allowed to do this for dealing with family members that you have to deal with because they are family members? Like in laws that your kids love to see but who gossip and don’t support you?

Great post. You articulate the philosophy of “Strengths” very well. It is so important to play to our strengths most of the time. When we find ourselves weakened by an activity we find someone who is strengthened by the same activity and share.

Hey,Sue! Great post! The last 3 weeks of my life have been insane with the move to Charleston, but I have loved it, and actually everything has fallen into place at the right place at the right time. I know too well the “feel like death” feeling and have no plans to revisit that place. Thanks!

Thanks for this — it’s amazing how much energy we can free up when we stop telling ourselves we “have to” do this or that and start acknowledging that we have a choice — even if it’s something mundane like getting up to go to the office in the morning.
