Somebody is unhappy with you, no matter what you do. You're following the playbook for how to be a good parent, spouse, friend, and adult, all day, every day. And it's crushing.
The pressure begins before you're even awake. Hungry kids who've missed you all night, expectations on full blast before you've had a chance to pee. Breakfast, backpacks, lunches no one will eat. Do you have your shoes? Your diorama? That permission slip?
Just as you're easing into your day, your parents call needing help with their TV. Again. The neighbor corners you on the walk that was supposed to be just for you.
The crush is as simple as the claustrophobic nightly question of "what's for dinner?" (shudder) And as nuanced as balancing your needs against your family's, every moment.
Everywhere you look, people are talking about this double bind. But what the merp can actually be DONE about it?
This isn't "just think positive." It's not a mood you talk yourself into.
It's the real, structural work of finding what's actually running the show underneath your life, and changing it.
I know because I've turned my entire life around with it. So have my clients.
