We care too much. We focus on things that really don’t matter.

Something that I feel like is not talked about is feeling guilt when you are happy. This is something that I struggle with especially since in the past, I was so comfortable being sad and being happy felt almost unnatural. To this day, I still feel this way sometimes, but recognizing that you should not feel guilt for being happy is very important. Being a very empathetic person, I can relate easily to others, but I sometimes take on other people's emotions and forget that I am my own person and do not prioritize my own well being first. Remembering that happiness is just as temporary as sadness is something that I have to remind myself as and also not be afraid of feeling whatever it may feel. However, you should embrace the happiness as much as you embrace the sadness and stop comparing your emotions to others. Of course, love on others and understand others, but do not let it take away from your mental health. Protect your heart, be proud of yourself, and keep on living YOUR life!
I know for some of us, the holiday season can be intimidating. Maybe not feeling the best or maybe anxious about the New Year. Today, I will be sharing a little bit about how I have continued to enjoy this rest period as I am home in California despite the emotions or thoughts I may be having. I know with the holidays it can have such an expectation of feeling good about being home, feeling excited for the new year, or whatever it may be for you. I hope you all are taking time to get the rest you need and also take control of your emotions and thoughts and not how you would imagine it. Instead, I have been reminding myself of who I am without the emotions and thoughts that are just there. I am instead choosing to live and move forward with these emotions and thoughts, but they are in the back seat and I am the one driving in the car. Life ain't that serious and those emotions and thoughts are temporary! Let those emotions and thoughts be there and address and observe them, but do not let them stop you from continuing on your journey through life, even through the holiday season full of expectations.
This past week I have dealt with something I don't want to: being sick. I have been not able to do my normal routine and has caused me to feel a lot differently. A lot of it has been thoughts or emotions that I do not understand why they are there. Overthinking has been my worst enemy lately, but I have learned a few ways to take care of myself better and realize that my thoughts and emotions may look a little different right now and that is because I AM SICK!!! Learning to switch up your routine and resting can be so hard sometimes and an adjustment. My thoughts and what I am forced to do(like be in bed a ton) all day reminds me of when I used to be depressed which has been scary, but there is a lot more to why I have been feeling this way and I have learned more about what sickness can do to not just our bodies, but to our minds as well. In this episode, I will dive into the science between sickness and how it can affect our mental health and what you can do to take care of yourself and also just recognize that sometimes you are just overthinking it!! Don't be too hard on yourself!
Feeling like your emotions are taking over? Like they are moving you farther away from where you want to be? Well, that's far from the truth. As I am dealing with many emotions at once, it can make me feel like my life is falling out of place. However, remembering that this is meant for me and I am not supposed to feel any other way helps me embrace the struggles and helps me find purpose. I think I also am learning to adjust as I grow and learn more about what helps me through the unknown and the uncomfortable. Allowing our emotions and our struggles help guide us through it all is important to use it to your advantage and not see it as a weakness.
I think we can all agree struggling is not fun, but learning how to gain perspective when in the midst of it makes it so much more meaningful to me and not something I am afraid of anymore. Not only that, but embracing the struggles has made me grow immensely as well as learn how to be content through it all. Sharing what I’ve been dealing with is helping me be honest with myself and with you guys because we are all human and this is your reminder you are not alone in that and there’s so much good only if you look for it.
