The “new “ you
I came across this comment in one of my Parkie sites l follow.
“Have any of you pushed friends and / or family away since your diagnosis?
I basically go to work, come home… go to the grocery and Doctor visits and that’s about it. I make excuses to not have to go places. I’m self conscious around people and afraid I’ll embarrass myself out in public. I hate the “new me and want the old me back.”
To the Parkies who feel this way I can only reply
IT ISN’T THE “NEW YOU “
HOLDING YOU BACK!
IT IS THE “OLD YOU” HOLDING YOU BACK!
The new you isn’t involved in that decision to shut yourself in.
That choice is made up from your experiences from the past.
It’s the “old you” trying to stay in control.
Let it go, life is in the “Now”!
Friends and family are the ones we are supposed to be comfortable around. They are the ones who Laugh WITH us when we do something stupid and embarrassing.
Making it easier to laugh when we tell someone new in our life about it.
The NEW you must be given the chance to impact your life.
Don’t let the OLD you get in the way.
Either way YOU GET TO CHOOSE.
What YOU , you are going to be.
I hope you give the NEW a chance.
Have fun and be a warrior
Embrace the
“new “ you
