Mental Switch – releasing control and managing focus as a submissive
I realized that while I was in control, I was unhappy. I didn’t like being a nag. I didn’t want to have to make all the decisions in a relationship, but I did want a voice. I wanted to feel cared for and respected. I also needed to be vulnerable. –Luna Caruthers I struggle with control. In my daily life, I often find myself fighting to maintain it (of myself and over others). And while I often see it as a necessary part of what I do at work, it exhausts me.

Submission is new every day
Side note: I time block using Google Calendar to plan my days and weeks out in advance, making sure I’ve made room for all the things I have to do and as many of the things I want to do as possible.

Join me in a (re)discovery of submission

I would love for you to join me and add to the conversation. Sometimes discussing the issues can make them so much more clear and can bring up perspectives we maybe would have overlooked otherwise. You can purchase the guide at the link above and at Amazon. I’m planning to read a chapter each weekend and then write about some of the topics that grab me during the week. This book is appropriate for anyone interested in dedicating or re-dedicating themselves to submission, newbies and long-timers…
