Thought Cataloging
Today has been a day to recalibrate and do some necessary mental cataloging.
Being productive while not being on the go all the time is completely okay (yes, I’m giving myself permission to do so). I’m continually filing away the bad or deleting those negative thoughts and replacing them with all things good and uplifting. It can be exhausting, but with enough practice, it becomes easier. Of course, the negativity comes throughout the day, but it’s having the ability not to dwell on it for an extended period.
It is easy to get caught up in the social media culture of “Hey guys! Look at what I’m doing.”
It doesn’t take long for the Universe to say, “Slow the eff down, Desiree. You are getting ahead of yourself again. I do have a personality that wants to do all the things, so I have to weed out the unnecessary often. It is amazing how the power of my two little ones makes sure to remind me of what’s important.
At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, I had energy surrounding me that I hadn’t felt since my running days. But I felt it slowly slip away entering February. It scared me how quickly the high had left me. Not enough time and too many things I wanted to do. I had a six-month plan, but it evaporated just as quickly as it began. Little did I know that medication was exactly what I needed to balance my mood.
