The Remedy

Back to back! Thanks for coming back guys! Its been awesome having so many of you mention something to me about the blog! I am humbled to have you take the time to see what I'm up to. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would like my stories!!

Today my funk from the week has lingered.... why????? Its been so hard to get out of my head the last few days. I'll have a few moments of clarity... and then the fog rolls in... and then my head starts to spiral....

The house is a mess... I haven't done laundry... what's for dinner... I need to run... what day is it.... I need to read to the kids... don't forget to water the flowers... pay the bills... clean the car.... you get it... it goes on and on and on...

I know the remedy.... I already know that journaling works and writing things down really does work... but I can't get myself to do the things that I know will make me feel better!! I revert back to my old ways instantly. In a matter of a few minutes I can turn into the self hating person that I have been for the last few years of my life. In the blink of an eye I forget to love Nancy... I forget my kindness and compassion... I really do need to work on that!

So now that I've acknowledged the feelings... what does it mean? It means that we have to start thinking about the things that I did right today... Sure there are a million and one things that I could have done better... but the things that I did... I did my best on those! So that makes me very much worthy some self love!!

So what is it that has been working for me you ask?? 

1. Running.. I got two miles in today after work. My thoughts were a little scattered but I got out there and did my thing!! 

2. Picked up the room and put things in their place so it doesn't look so messy. 

3. Swept the floors

4. Sat outside for 5 minutes

5. Took a warm shower

6. This... writing! 

I am quite proud of myself. And to be perfectly honest I can feel myself try and think about other things that I could have done... but in just the time it took me to write out those six little things that I did for ME... my mind became strong enough to push those thoughts to the side and be DAMN PROUD OF MYSELF! 

Breath-taking!!!

This is the head space that I like to end my day with! This is why I am trying this blog thing! If I can encourage you to do just three simple things just for YOU! It can be the first step in loving yourself... and I promise... That's where it's at!!!

Peace and Love
