Have you ever had a week where you’re just in your feelings about everything? I’m in my bag as I like to call it. It’s not even mother nature’s week of my cycle . I’m blaming today being a new moon, and someone else’s bad vibes and juju cause it can’t be mine😜. But no really, my anxiety and attitude are at an all time high. The only thing I am still consistent with, when I feel this way, is eating well and working out. Otherwise I let myself feel how I feel and try to keep telling myself, this too shall pass, until it does.
In the hair salon tonight , two women working were joking about hiding and crying after saying something embarrassing. I said, I go in the bathroom to cry a couple times a day sometimes, and they laughed. But then i thought to myself… well I’m glad I am not so alone in feeling overwhelmed by life… Someday it’s the stress of work, or money, or worrying that I have no control over, or just not getting my way, but it’s real and we are human! No, not everyone has anxiety or depression, but I think the best way to stay ahead is to stay aware. Be in the know of yourself. Do things that bring you joy, even if it’s one small thing. One quote I always see online and resonates so much… You’re allowed to have five emotional minutes in the day, then you gotta be a gangster. Lol love that, but also take all the time you need, THEN BE A GANGSTA!
So while I stress over looking for a new job while knowing what I’m worth, stumbling through life flailing my arms trying to stay balanced, and failing my way up, I just wanted to remind you that we are all human and have our good and bad days. We need to focus on what we can control. It is how you get back up that next moment that matters. It’s a bad day not a bad life. You all matter 💖
