Sometimes I spiral and I'm learning that it's totally okay. It's so easy for me to begin thinking, start overthinking, and eventually go into a downward spiral. The downward spiral most times, consists of my negative thoughts and things that I cannot control, combined with my insecurities.

I've posed a few questions to myself for when I find myself experiencing an emotional low. The questions are intended to help me realize that, most times, the low that I am experiencing isn't worth the energy that it absorbs from my body, but rather, it's my brain thinking otherwise.
