I have no idea what I’m doing

This is the honest truth. I have no clue what I am doing most of the time. No matter how prepared you think you are to be an adult and manage your life, things happen that throw you off your game. I have recently been working through this lack of knowledge and living in this…

Refocus

I am so thankful that I can get away sometimes. I have a tendency to really wear myself out and get bogged down with my own overwhelming thoughts and ambitions. Even the busiest of vacations can provide me with the clarity needed to come back and refocus. I have found that it is particularly tricky,…

Control

We all want to be in control all the time right? We want things to go our way or not at all. The reality, however, is that life does not work that way. Having control is not something we get to choose. You either have it, or you don't. The good news is that you…

Doors

So we have all heard the saying, " when one door closes another one opens." And as cliche, as it is, it's true. I have had this happen in many forms time and time again. Life happens exactly as it should, and doors that need to be open (or closed) will be when they are…

Cut it off at the source

Have you ever noticed that worry creates worry? You have a thought, and you let fester. Before you know it, that thought has morphed into worry. This worry then leads you down a path of more thoughts and more worry. Worrying is a vicious cycle. It can lead to anxiety depression and frustration if "untreated." …

Stand your ground

Sometimes you have to stand your ground. People will try to get you to do things that are out of your comfort zone sometimes. This can be good, but this can also be very bad. When it comes to your morals, skills, and abilities, it can be best to stand your ground. Saying no is…

Unnecessary Worry

Have you ever caught yourself worrying for no reason? You are laying in bed all ready to sleep and then, bam, you are covered with worry about the dumbest thing. I have been plagued with this this week. Unnecessary worry brings a whole host of issues. From lack of sleep to increased stress, worry can…

Mountains out of molehills

Do you ever find yourself stressed out and feeling like you don’t have enough time to get everything done? Does it drive you nuts to move things from today’s list to the next day? Even though the things on your list you are moving are obviously not the most important, you feel this disappointment in…

Nothing in life is certain

Today I am filled with self-perpetuated anxiety. My anxiety is stemming from my uncertainty in areas of my life. This fear of not knowing is a problem that only I can manage. I left my full-time job to pursue my passions and create a business for myself. What I failed to recognize was the stress…

I didn’t know I have anxiety

I stumbled across an article published by PopSugar Fitness yesterday that caught my attention. The caption read, “I never understood why frightening images and scenarios would pop into my head, leaving me anxious and scared.” While I would not describe myself as someone with anxiety, I was intrigued by this statement, because I could relate.…
