You are not alone…
Honest2Goodness
I haven’t written a piece for a while, September to be precise. I’m not someone who can write for the sake of writing a piece. I’m more of a from the heart writer, something just clicks and I know I need to put my brain on paper and share it. More so in the hope to be able to help other readers understand that they are not alone in having to work out and understand their brains and the mush that comes with them.
Today I woke, and I felt this; the feeling of needing to share my experiences. So here goes…
Today is another day, today isn’t anything like yesterday. Yesterday I felt alert and full of energy. Today I don’t! 🙄😏
But you know what? That’s ok! It is ok to feel like this. No two days are often the same.
From experience, for me, rather than trying to understand why I’m feeling like this, it’s better to just ride it out. Let it be. We can have ‘off’ days, it’s not harmful. It’s not unusual. I know what I have to do to lighten the mood, I need to get outside in the fresh air. Maybe the air in the home is stale. I must open some windows... I’ll probably get moaned at by everyone else in the home that they are cold, but hey ho.
I’m not a wet weather fan, it sounds wet out there, but I wouldn’t know as I haven’t climbed out bed to look out the window yet, but I should. My promise to myself today is to get up shortly, freshen up, wrap up and get outside. Inhale the fresh air and take a walk but, observe my surroundings. I like to look at how people present their houses to the outside world, how they have presented their gardens. It gives me ideas for mine💡 Take notice of what people have done differently over the past week. There is more than often other people out walking, and I’m fortunate enough to live in an area where people are friendly and greet one another on passing. It makes my day, as it probably does their’s too.
Hopefully, I’ll come back and have inhaled some energy to drive me…but maybe I won’t. It’s not going to stop me though. These are my small steps for today, and if that’s all I manage to do and I come back and slump on the couch, so be it. At least I did something, even if only the one thing.
It’s ok to feel pants (not of the physical kind 😉🤣). Embrace those ‘off days’ it’s what helps you grow as a person. Understanding yourself and accepting your emotions will help you manage the shifts in mood.
For anyone else struggling today or feeling a little out of sorts, Remember! you’ve got this 💪🏻….
