Stepping Away For Sanity

Have you ever come to a point in life where you are one step away from just losing your crap?

Where everything thing that happens grates on your nerves like there is no tomorrow? Yep, I have been living that for the last little bit. We all just loveee to post on social media like we are the perfected image of sunshine and puppies but that is not how life works. That is not how our emotions work either.

As a perfectionist on top of it, I have this overwhelming urge to ensure a “perfected image.” That is NOT healthy. After a hardcore reality check of having health problem after health problem, I decided I needed to step back and truly assess things. So, started to work on truly seeing what was going on. It was my perception of situations, not necessarily the situations or things occurring. This does not work in every case, but it certainly was mine. Working on finding at least one positive aspect in everything no matter how minuscule the positivity was. This has ranged from Thank God that could have been worse to even though this morning was a trainwreck I’m thankful I still got my coffee.

No matter how you work through this episode of life, or if you are still in the thick of it, know you are not alone in the feeling. <3
