Sunday, you always come to soon! Lol now that I enjoy the weekends I see what people meant when they used to say they speed by! There were times when my weekends seemed longer than the week, glad that is no longer the case.
I really didn't do much today, I think I'm trading my Monday for Sunday and relaxing today lol. In the middle of the day I was trying to figure out if I really wanted to do something, but I felt horrible! So I decided to stay in the house and had company over for a bit. That was the best I could do to be social and I'm okay with that!
As Borrow Season progresses I getting a better handle on what makes ME happy and my limits. It really is no surprise to me that I am still happy about all those books almost a week later. Or that the days I get to spend time with the people I love are my favorite. I am super surprised at how happy this blog has made me-not just being able to write which I love-but that people are enjoying it, being creative in my activities and hopefully helping others. Those were ALL unintended consequences, but the ones that make this really worth it for me. Start with what makes you happy and learn that there are some things you didn't even know would make you happy!
Seems strange to say, but it sometimes takes me a little while to process "happy". I think because I was spending so much time on the "No, not for me" train that my mind really started to believe a lot of things weren't for me. As an example of how much my body fought me, I'll admit to a some stomach aches and panic attacks at the beginning of this. Full on "OMG" panic attacks, they were horrible, but I found that as soon as I decided I would not do whatever activity it was I could pretty much calm down.
I spent the next three attacks pep talking the hell out of myself. Reminding myself that I probably wasn't going to die, that I was still going to do the activity and that I was going to be open to the experience. Glad my body is cooperating on a much better level now lol. Does that ever happen to you? You know that you're fine, but you're body and mind try to play tricks on you? Pay attention to your body, of course, but also listen to your mind. If it's something you want to do- DO IT! Fight through that discomfort, sometimes it takes more than one fight lol it's worth it!
I really want you to take some stock in what you have going on right now. How much of that has a purpose that involves YOU? Your happiness? There is nothing wrong with doing for others, share your joy and your blessings! Make sure you are doing things for YOU as well. You are the most important person in your life, remember that!! Talk tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your Sunday! :-) #BorrowSeason #DoItForYou
