Ever stop to think what weighs you down?
How fast do you let your day go from positive to negative, how fast do you choose to sulk over rejoice?
Why…
What are the 5 things that get you the most anxious, worked up, angry, in a grumpy mood, and how can you let them go.
- when I get derailed from my daily plan.
- when I can’t seem to get a grip on those pesky finances
- when something didn’t go my way (I don’t know about you but I am a giant toddler)
- when I’ve gotten in a fight with my spouse (why can’t he just bend to my every whim)
- when my life doesn’t feel like I’m living in a movie.
And then I say to myself, really Emily?
- your plan will ALWAYS get derailed you have 3 tiny people and that is their main goal in life. But embrace it because soon they’ll be teenagers locking themselves in their bedrooms and you’ll be able to feel their eye rolls behind closed doors.
- finances are finances they’ll always be present. Have you had any crazy bad life experiences with them? NO Are there times when you may be living paycheck to paycheck? YES Am I one of the people living in poverty? NO count your blessings lady.
- Picture a world where the 5 people in our house are all simultaneously getting their way, at the same time. Unless we all have the same brain, not gonna happen. Luckily 3 of 5 are in the stage where we help navigate their days so I probably get my way a LOT more than I should.
- Fighting is bound to happen, like the above where I stated different brains, different upbringings, and different life experiences. So on and so forth. And I married someone opposite to me in a lot of ways, which also has its challenges. But also has many rewards. Embrace the spouse, daily. I challenged the hubs last week to wooo each other. To find ways to say you mean the world to me. IE one day my husband said man I could go for a frozen waffle right now, and the next trip to the grocery store, I put them in the cart because I wanted him to know I was thinking about him!
- We all have those fairy tale dreams, especially the more romcoms watched the more you look for that in your life. Well guess what your life is a movie, it’s your movie. What does your movie say? And if it’s not feeling like it’s speaking volumes what can you do to change it?
Why hold onto things and let them fester, let the bad mood linger, and stay stuck in the Eeyore blues? I am not saying it’s not okay to get in a funk, sometimes you just need to have a bad day, cry a little, feel bad, sulk, and toss a tantrum. But then check it before getting a horrible night’s sleep. Reflect and move on. Breathe it out, work it out, dance it out, stretch it out, talk it out. So on and so forth do what you have to do but LET IT GO. Don’t waste your life in a funk where is the fun in that?
