Sometimes I fail to listen to my own advice.
If you've read my blog or know me personally, you would know that I am a pretty positive, forward thinking, person. I never let others see me rattled. I always preach to do the right thing and constantly find a way to put a positive spin on any challenge.
Sometimes, like anyone, I get caught up in the weight of the things around me. I know I shouldn't, but my mind (and sometimes my body) loads up on me and I feel the weight of the world applying pressure on my chest.
The world does not apply this pressure...I do.
Sometimes life is a lot to take in. Especially when you are preoccupied with a lot of little things that turn into a BIG thing. In the past 8 months, I have started a new job, doubled my workload, bought a new house, moved to a new city, sold the old house, flown to be a part of 2 weddings and the list goes on and on. Anything that takes you out of your comfort zone can apply new pressure upon you. My daughter starts kindergarten this month. My stay at home wife....ELATED. Me? A huge ball of stress over this and ready to cry at a moments notice.
Do not get caught up in the minutia of the day to day. Understand that these are just "things" and soon they will be either in the past or part of your future day to day routine. Change is good. It helps you test yourself, you learn from it and become stronger. Change is the thing in life that helps you achieve goals and create new ones. Forcing yourself to leave the nest of the norm will give you the opportunity to see things differently, influence new people and allow those people to influence you.
Stop letting the sum of many things cloud your mind and not let you see the light of possibilities. Wake up, man up and stop being a pansy. Take the STFU pill and remember it's just "stuff" and it too will pass.
There, I needed that. Thanks. You are welcome. Go back to playing words with friends....
