Feeling a little blue

If you’re feeling a little blue, allow yourself to be right where you are:  If all you want to do is lay around, that’s okay to, just lay around;  If you feel like crying, by all means cry away; If you’re angry, that’s perfectly fine, you have the right to be, you just don’t have the right to express it in harmful ways towards others.

Whatever you are feeling , it’s okay; We can’t be all chipper and full of life 24/7; there’s times when we are tired, lonely, afraid, and just flat worn out.  Acknowledge your feelings, see them for what they are and if they keep returning, talk to someone, see your Physician, or whatever you must do to see their is an underlying health issue.  Ask yourself why you are feeling what you are feeling, why is it getting to you so badly, why is returning so often; then break it down even further; and ask yourself why you are feeling the way your first answer was, and the second, and third; and so on, until you find the core of the issue.  Most of the time I have to help from my Mentor and best friend; but the first thing I do about any of these situations is I pray to God for clarity.  The I step forward in getting into the solution and getting to the root of the problem.

Give yourself a break, it’s okay not to be perfect, it’s okay if you just don’t know why you feel the way you do; Just Breathe and allow the feelings to flow through.

Somewhere along our journey we may have been told that we were worthless, less than, would never amount to anything; that we were a mistake,,,etc.  These may be extremes but true for so many of us.  Whether it was from childhood or later on in our adult life, we no longer have to believe those words; There is just no truth in them .   Those days are long gone.  Today is a new beginning,,,one we can face the painful feelings and free them; no longer allowing them to control our entire being.

No matter whether you feel it or not, you are unique; you are priceless and have a purpose that only you can fill.  It may not feel that way at the moment, but with time, practice, and effort you will soon believe it.

Never forget that you deserve the best that life and love have to offer; You deserve to be happy in life.  Why not start today?

Old beliefs,thoughts, & ideas

Today I was required to attend our Family Program at work; (a 3 day ordeal) as part of our yearly training. While I not only taught the Family Program for my previous employer; I created that very program; It was still required of me to attend this facility’s proceedings.
As a direct result of the class itself; I began feeling “less than”, “a part from”, “isolated”, “dumb”, ignorant, useless and plain stupid; even a state of complete hopelessness came over me.
Yes those are all very powerful feelings and I experienced each one of them, off and on, throughout my day; all because I was learning something different. You see my addicted brain was telling me that I didn’t need to go to these classes, yet in just one day I have learned so much.
I have dealt with those feelings and let them go, one by one; but I know that I am so much better today than I was almost 6 years ago. I also know that this is a life long process; one of which some require a more rigorous program than others. It does set me apart from most everyone, yet I keep going, because I do know that each and every day I am getting closer and closer to being free from the compulsion to think such powerful thoughts of negativity.
So I do my best to replace them with the positive and keep taking deep breaths, taking one step at a time; knowing that I am getting to where I want to be.

Give yourself a break.

 

Over the past several months I have noticed myself experiencing some old thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.  Of course I let it go on for way too long, but the past few days, I’ve been taking some time to do some self-reflection.  While I may not have pin pointed the exact nature at the core of my inner self; I have become aware of how quickly low self-esteem, codependency, insecurity, fear, loneliness, isolation, and the loss of purpose and hope, can take over my life when I am not practicing my personal program of self-care.

With that being said, I have made a commitment with myself, to attend regular meetings (for my Recovery), call my Sponsor more often, give back to others, and meditate more deeply; long with making sure I am practicing daily affirmations.

When you seem to be snapping at everyone around you, when you can’t find the motivation to do anything, talk to anyone, or just to get out of bed; when you feel as though all hope is lost; SLOW DOWN for a while; take some time for yourself to reflect on when the feelings began.  Most importantly make sure you are not neglecting time with YOU and your loved ones; Make sure you are taking time out to have some fun, Make sure you are practicing what it is that set you on the right path to begin with.  Then slowly start incorporating the positive steps back into your life and give yourself a break.  We all have moments of uncertainty and confusion; we all at one time or another doubt our mere existence; It’s the AWARENESS that brings us back into the right direction; for without awareness, there’s no recognition of a problem in the first place.

LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED!

 

 

 

“Life is meant to be lived, not endured;
So embrace life and live it to its’ fullest;
Push through the difficult times when you must;
But choose to enjoy your time on this earth;
Choose to live it with all of your heart;
…Stop depriving yourself;
There’s beauty surrounding you;
Now grab hold of it;
And have the time of your life!! ” wb
