From the time we are children, we are trained to focus on fulfilling the needs of others – our parents, teachers, and other authority figures in our lives. We are not taught how to connect with our own needs.

Birthdays are not always what we expect them to be.
Birthdays can bring up strong emotions and memories. They can remind us of wishes that have not yet been fulfilled, people who are no longer in our life, and past events that carry a high charge, either positive or negative.

When I go through periods where I spend too much time indoors, I get unbearably cranky. I start feeling fidgety, depressed, and creatively frustrated. Some days I don’t realize how lack of sunlight is affecting me until I go outside and feel the healing balm of the sun’s rays.

I have an adorable little deck that I use for creative inspiration, and this morning the card I pulled said, “Fire Your Inner Critic.” I laughed when I saw that card because I knew it would give me great satisfaction to fire the part of me that wants me to perfect all the time. That part of me never wants to give me a break. It is relentlessly critical, to the point where it won’t let me do anything. It sabotages my creative impulses by questioning them to death. Every creative act gets put on the witness stand and is put through an excruciating inquisition.

Overgiving is something that women are culturally trained to do. It is so deeply ingrained in us that we often don’t know we’re doing it. It’s true that we are natural nurturers, but when we habitually sacrifice our own needs for those of others, we become physically, emotionally, and spiritually depleted.
