Thursday Morning Thoughts

blog

I’m tired and in bed before I have to get up for work, and just wanted to take a moment to jot down some random thoughts I’ve had recently:

  • peace and calmness can feel odd or off to someone who has experienced a lot of anxiety and hyper-vigilance
  • if you’re taught that everything is scary and is the end of the world, that makes sense why you’d think that. however, we can still unlearn / de-program those concepts that aren’t actually helping us
  • sometimes it feels like our brains are actively working against our healing journeys and that’s because they’re wired for survival.
  • I don’t need apologies from those who have hurt me- I apologize to myself for not speaking up and setting boundaries when needed.
  • we judge people we love because we want better for them, yet we get mad when people judge us or tell us how to live our lives because we know what’s best for ourselves. (plot twist: they already know, it’s just hard to change and develop new habits)
  • life on earth includes oceans, sunsets and sunflower fields, friendships, true love and hugs: it’s not all bad here

Just been feeling kinda off, but also not? Like I’m not depressed or anxious which is nice- I’d like to say I’m content, but also I do have some stresses. We just found out our cat is diabetic; I’m happy that it is manageable and she will feel better soon once we start her insulin, but it’s just going to be a life adjustment for sure.

Luckily my parents had a diabetic cat as well, so my mom could help me out if we go on a vacation or something, but it’s a bit harder when it’s a family trip. Either way, we have our appointment at the vet on Friday to learn how to give her the shots and I will just ask my questions at that time. My coworker said her vet would have vet techs available to go to the home to give medication while they were out of town, so I’ll see if that’s an option if ever needed.

I’m not super overwhelmed by this; honestly I’m just glad we can afford this and give her this treatment. I just feel like I’m sitting in a “calm before the storm” type situation, but I’m realizing right now that it’s just my anxiety telling me I’m not allowed to feel calm or at peace. I’m just going to sit in this present moment and let myself enjoy the lack of anxiety.

I’m laying in bed because I really don’t feel like getting up, but I’m reminding myself that it’s Friday and I have a nice weekend ahead of me. I also have therapy after work which I always look forward to!

This week was kind of a wild one at work, but it’ll be nice to finally have a day where I can just keep my head down and my headphones in and just get stuff done! I’m excited to see the sun shining, and I know today is going to be a good day!

Wednesday Wisdom

blog

Just thought I’d start the day with some quotes that I have found to be helpful for myself in breaking free from people-pleasing, anxiety and perfectionism!

• You will inspire some and trigger others; both are medicine.

• There’s no reason to be a people-pleaser- people are never pleased.

• Accept people as they are, but place them where they belong.

• Peace that costs you your power isn’t peace- it’s performance. You’re not here to perform.

• Worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles, it just takes away today’s peace.

Full Moon Release

blog

The full moon has peaked and it will start waning today. As it slowly disappears, all that I am releasing will go along with it:

• self-doubt

• shame and guilt about things that were never my fault or mine to hold

• the need to please others

• putting other people’s comfort before my own

• rigidness and perfectionism

May we all step into our best timelines, bringing forth love and light to this world, and our inner worlds.

Prompt

blog

List the people you admire and look to for advice…

When I read this prompt, I immediately started thinking Mel Robbins, but then I was like “is this about people I actually know?” And then I’m like… do I seek advice from people I know? Not usually – I mean I do ask my therapist for advice LOL, but that’s literally her job.

I could go to a couple of my bosses for advice, as I feel they are receptive and wise- to be honest, I admire them! I admire their hard work, but also their openness and honesty. I haven’t worked for people like them before, and now that I do, I don’t know how I ever worked with some of the bosses I did.

Monday Morning/Full Moon

blog

Starting off this week with some gratitude, because life really is full of blessing and happiness when we’re present enough to see it. I am feeling so happy to be at a place in my life where I can feel the love around me, and I am forever grateful for that.

I am blessed to be able to wake up in a warm bed next to the love of my life- he makes me feel so comfortable and appreciated.

I am blessed to have such great friends who truly love and support me- they make me feel seen and loved.

I am blessed to have a job that I like where I am not micromanaged or overwhelmed, and it allows me to pay my bills and live the life I want.

I am blessed to have clean, running water in my home for warm showers, laundry, washing dishes, flushing toilets, and access to filtered tap water!

I’m blessed to have a vehicle that I love that gets me place to place safely and reliably. I am also grateful that we can afford my car.

There are so many blessings all around me and I am tuning into this vibration of love, abundance and peace.
