@iamrashidato: She said what she said. 🤍 When even our Forever FLOTUS has to trick herself out of being the Strong One — you know this is bigger than willpower. We're not just tired from today. We're tired from years of absorbing everyone else's everything. And no amount of scrolling, wine, or couch collapsing is going to fix it. That's not a sleep problem. That's an empty cup problem. DM me the word REST and I'll send you the link to learn about all 7 types of rest (no email address needed). 🤍 (Credit: @michelleobama, @imopodcasts, @tarajiphenson) #strongone #shockabsorber #michelleobama #7typesofrest #restisproductive #ambitiousandtired #sitdownsomewhere #hustletok #worklife #adulting #fyp

The shock absorber takes the hit in order to ease the hit for someone else

Love this. I'm at this place in my life. Doing life... for me... on my terms. Living for me. Not my husband, not my kids, not my job...ME!

I am tired of doing the “right” thing. I want to live out loud. I’m a big time shock absorber for my teen-adult kids. My body is in constant pain from years of carrying the load.

Shock absorber is so accurate!! My gut feels like it gets punched over and over and over daily from taking in moods, behaviors, underlying attitudes and expectations of others. Omg such a revelation and relief at the same moment

Me hearing this right after being raw and honest with my adult son about how much of a taker and energy drainer he is when it comes to me and how this relationship will look different moving forward.

“Let me do the right thing”. This made me fall into my chair and I cry. This year was hard, I did go through “l have to do the right thing”, and now dealing with an empty cup.

“You were a shock absorber “ sat me down. How often have I just “moved THROUGH” because… whatever excuse I’ve used or been handed?! Intentional thoughts and plans and actions have been the most impactful lessons I’ve learned from Michelle Obama. She is such a gift to us all. Thank you for sharing this!!!

Your message stopped me in my tracks. Phew! 1) Fighting others’ ideals of the right thing to do; 2) Choosing not to prescribe to others’ flawed norms; and 3) Learning that ‘No’ doesn’t require others validation. Thank you!🌻
