Hey guys!
Today's video is kind of different video for me / a little more just sit down and talk about life kind of video. I had the kind of day yesterday where it felt like I was doing everything wrong / nothing was going right and I was like 'MY
LIFE IS A
MESS!!'.
Those are the days that you already feel bad about yourself and then you begin to spiral down into the dark corners of anxiety and stress in your mind where you're like 'you're a mess' 'you don't have your life together' 'everyone else is so much farther along than you' and you start to really think that you're failing at life.
So I thought about all the little moments throughout the day where I feel like I'm being an adult / where I feel like I've got my life together. Some days those are really the best that you can say, and that's okay! Every day might not be a milestone, but every day IS a gift and I like to look for the positive in even the smallest situation.
10
WAYS I
FEEL LIKE I HAVE MY LIFE TOGETHER
1. WHEN I COME
HOME TO A
CLEAN HOUSE: I could have the worst day but feel immediately better when I come home to clean house. I'm like, I survived today AND I have a clean house? YOU GO
GLEN COCO. Same with when I wash my hair. The day could be absolute crap, but I still have clean hair. And no one can take that from me.
2. WHEN I NETFLIX N
CHILL: Some days I start to really feel bad about myself if I order food for delivery. The anxiety in my mind is like 'look at you, ordering food on your couch, being a general waste of space' and then I'm like, no. I just employed someone. I am contributing to the economy.
Don't judge yourself for having a chill night in and ordering food. You're worth it, and you just gave somebody a job.
3. WHEN I HAVE
FOOD IN MY HOUSE: can you get more adult than having a fridge full of groceries?! I think not.
4. WHEN I DRINK WATER: Just remind yourself whenever you're drinking water, that you could be drinking wine. And you're not drinking wine in the middle of the day! You've got your life together!
5. WHEN I
KEEP MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF: I feel like an adult when I keep all of my sarcastic thoughts to myself. That takes a lot of self control.
6. WHEN I
PAY MY BILLS: That takes money! Only functioning members of society make money!
7. WHENEVER I
DON'T GIVE IN TO ROAD
RAGE: I play praise music in my car to remind myself that I am a child of God + I need to act as such.
8. GETTING
GAS:
If I get gas in my car BEFORE the empty gaslight comes on,
I AM WINNING
9. WHEN I RESPOND TO MESSAGES: and when I don't respond to messages.
Thank you, read receipts. #nope2016
10. WHEN I
WAKE UP BEFORE MY
ALARM GOES OFF: If I can start my morning routine before my alarm goes off, I am killing the day!
These are the little things in any day that remind me that I've got my life together, that my anxiety + stress is just that= anxiety and stress. Don't let those thoughts steal your joy! Not every day is a milestone, but every day IS a gift! If you start to get down on yourself, remind yourself of all the silly little things throughout the day that you got through and made good choices in :)
