It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, though I have several ready to go – I had a snafu where I realized that only a few post were viewable and the many other post could not be seen. That is until my awesome niece helped me by getting online and fixing it.
Throughout this past few weeks and months, life has not been easy. I got hit by some difficult situations and God has helped me maneuver through it to a calmer place in my circumstances and I am really trying to stay calm inside no matter what life throws me.
I’ve waffled off my path a few times both with my eating choices and my positive mindset. I’ve had to look at the anger I both did and didn’t deal with and work through. I had to look at the fact that my tiredness and sadness were actually on the borderline of depression. There is a fine line between making yourself do what you have to and need to so and finding you can have some compassion for yourself and be kind and “allow” yourself to be a “little off your game”. The pendulum can swing both ways to an unhealthy degree.
I’m just glad that I made it through with the knowledge and tools I have developed and created over the years. I’m glad I’ve learned to be o.k. with the understanding that today is a new day and I don’t have to repeat yesterday’s mistakes. I allowed myself to rest when I needed it and made myself keep up with things that had to be done. I didn’t beat myself up when I ate something for comfort and knew I wouldn’t have to totally “fall off” the wagon so to speak and continue down an unhealthy path. I’m renewing my mindset and focusing on the positive after allowing myself to “vent” and express my frustrations, sit and cry through a couple of boxes of tissues, accepting where I am and looking to the future as I continue to release the past – cutting the ball and chains I’ve been dragging around
So for the moment I will be proud and o.k. of what I’ve come through and know tomorrow I will begin again to stay on a balanced path with a positive and kinder mindset for myself.
Celebrate your victories, no matter how small and don’t hang on to the struggles you didn’t handle as well as you would have liked to. It’s o.k.
Blessings as you continue your journey and if I can do it – so can you. Believe in yourself and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Know God loves you when no one else seems to and it will smooth out no matter what you are going through at the moment.
