Do sometimes you just wake up with so much anxiety and heaviness? Heaviness from being disappointed in yourself ?
Well I did this morning.
Just a overwhelming load of who knows what hanging over my head and weighing me down a thousand pounds. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I paid attention to myself and realized what I was feeling. I was beating myself up for losing in a mental battle.... with myself. It was something so small but I felt like I let people down, I didn't give my best because mentally I had already lost. I lMugh at myself because of the situation - but it's honestly that I'm burdening myself and besting myself up for the mental battle that I lost.
Until I remembered to just breathe. It's amazing how healing/refreshing/releasing deep breathing can be. I went and laid down on my bed and deep breathed and pictured myself releasing the anxiety and heaviness that was sitting in my chest and the pit of my stomach.
It crazy how our minds work and how powerful they are...
I need to remember to just breathe....

I have been feeling on edge lately and easily frustrated with myself too. It is particularly evident when I drop the ball on something and get frustrated because I feel like no matter how hard I try I can't juggle everything perfectly. There goes that temptation to be hard on myself for not being perfect again... I haven't tried the deep breathing thing yet, but so many people say that it helps them, I should try it. One of the things that helps me is to find some beauty, whether it is going outside and basking in the sun or listening to gorgeous classical music or singing at the top of my lungs... Something to center me and pull me out of that funk. And then I pray for Gods help and thank him for my blessings. Gratitude is powerful too! Love you!
