Conciousness

Most days I don't know where to begin, but I embrace it. It is when my mind is still and completely clear that my best thoughts and ideas flow. It is also during those times that I am able to understand the components I question. When something doesn't work, I'll play with it for a little bit - but then I get up, walk away and do something else. Then it comes to me. With allergy season in full effect it is a little bit harder to still my mind, as breathing and bellybutton to spine are the techniques I use to stay calm.
I woke up angry today, and I changed my mood on my own. I thought about what I was irritated about. My baby was sick last night, and I was having the hardest time staying strong. It took a lot for me to finally cry. And to literally have a discussion with God and the Universe about why I must face the challenges in my life. Why did I decide to get divorced? Was the grass really greener on the other side? Having to nurture a sick child who is literally spewing from both ends all over me, knowing I don't have a partner to tag out and take a break. Sobriety makes it harder too. I drank last night. I need to spend more time meditating throughout my day. Ujjiyay is becoming easier.

I cannot wait to get on that plane tonight, and step away from my reality. I deserve a break. I deserve a vacation. I deserve to rest. I know that I am sent challenges because I am a warrior, and I know that I will break through and reap the benefits soon. But it is not by any means easy. I used to envy other people. I used to want a more simple life, to not dream so big. But the more I deny myself my truth, my dreams, the more I'm overridden with anxiety, fear, angst, anger, etc. So as hard as it is, I must stick to it. I won't be a single mom forever, my business will continue to grow, I will finally purchase the properties I want, and I will prosper.

That being said, when I feel the moments of anger and irritation, I can guide my thoughts back to the vision. The vision of my family and I on a charter somewhere off the coastline. I don't know which one yet. The only thing I do know is that my visions always come true.

I have evolved into the 'witness' of my thoughts. #warriormentality I recommend Mark Divine's book Unbeatable Mind to anyone who is ready to take the next step in any aspect of their life. Career, family, etc. It takes great strength for me to do this work; but one thing is for sure...it's working.

Slowing Down Can Help Avoid Creating a Disaster - Rage

Every decision you make could be made from either somewhere in the knee- jerk realm of your unconscious or with the unmitigated, laser-focused precision of the present moment. Yes. Every. Single. Decision. I’m talking about from the pants you choose, to the socks you select, to the choice to sit or stand while putting that stuff on. Yes, you even have the option to greet the mail lady who is delivering yet a certified letter from the Tax Man in full-on, bat-shit rage mode or not. I understand, full-on, bat-shit rage mode doesn’t feel like a choice. But I have learned, or rather with effort, retrained my knowing that I can choose. As I said in my last article (thank you, Community, for your encouragement BTW!), when I have hit my limit of victim thinking that I am at the mercy of assholes, I realize I am not at mercy of anyone! I am only making the choice to listen to the voice of anxiety and not the grounded one of my empowered self. This means that no one, not my boss, not the...

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back

Anxiety is what happens when you feel like you've lost control of everything; but that’s only a feeling, and you can make it go away by taking that control back. How? Control the things you can control. M y ex had me going insane. Constantly cancelling on his visitations with our son, cherry picking when he would see him, etc. And people at work kept pinging me asking ‘When.’ I had orders coming in for Amazon because I bought them when I was feeling anxious, but when they got to the house I became even more anxious because I forgot why I bought them. I haven’t made enough time in my day to sit down and go through my to-do list. This makes me crazy. I would end up with a million items on the list, but never mark them complete. I was so anxious at the lake that I couldn’t feel my legs, I collapsed.    There were external factors- the ragweed in the air fucks with my allergies. I only feel this way in September . I feel like I Can’t breathe – I took the Benadryl to...
