I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m feeling incredibly grateful these days. I’m more aware of who I am and who I want to be- in the world, as a mommy, a wife, a daughter. A storyteller! I’m feeling confident and happy and I just wanted to share. I share the drama here in the blog and felt like sharing something lighter!!
It’s so easy to get caught up in the drama and negativity and I’m trying VERY hard to separate myself from that thinking. That way of being. I’m not always great at it, but with more focus I’m getting so much better. I think so much if it begins with self love and I wanted to give a gentle reminder to love yourself. Look in the mirror and for a few moments be happy with the person looking back at you. For a few moments stop judging yourself and maybe say “thank you” for the person you are. Look deeper. Smile more often. Give someone a compliment! That’s one of my favorite things to do! If I love someone’s outfit, or if they’re beautiful, have a cute dog, smile- you get my point… I tell them! Seeing a smile on a strangers face is really fun for me. Maybe it completely turned their day around or maybe they’re just weirded out by the strange girl talking to them?! 🤪😂 Either way, it feels good and it’s fun! Try it if you feel inclined. Ok- tangent!!! Anyway…
I look at this tiny human my husband and I created and pure joy doesn’t even begin to explain what I feel on a daily basis. Ok, “maybe” a tiny bit less joy during a major tantrum, 😂 but you catch my drift! Hugging Lennox, giving him kisses, making him laugh can bring me out of a dark moment instantly! So, long story short, feeling good is a choice and if it’s a difficult choice at times try taking baby steps! Tickle your child! Pet an animal! Go for a walk and smell some flowers… Make tiny tweaks in your thoughts. If you’re feeling crummy think of something to make you smile, if even for just a moment. The moments add up!
Ok, done preaching!! Didn’t mean to preach, just felt inclined to write these thoughts down..
Sending love your way!
Xoxo
