Good morning!!Just wanted to check in and share what's going on for me. I filed for bankruptcy yesterday and although I knew I was doing what was necessary for me to move on, it was quite overwhelming. I spent some time alone last night and I was just exhausted. I gave myself permission to be. I woke up this morning and I was tired but I had an awareness around this. The bankruptcy is a form of surrender for me. Surrender is knowing when to quit digging. I was digging myself into a financial hole I wasn't going to come out of anytime soon(if ever). Bankruptcy is not being a failure!!It's the best possible solution to a bad situation. I'm sure I'll have some more feelings around this but for today this is what's working for me. Thanks
