Last week I had a day or 2 of not feeling the best… we all have them. Probably over-tired, stressed, worried, hormonal… whatever.
I am pretty good at pulling myself out of these moments. I am good at positive thinking and I am big believer in thoughts become things. So if I feel bad for too long, I am aware I need to pull myself out of it or nothing good will ever happen.
But last week a friend text to see if I was ok. I said yep, I’m fine, just happy to sit with my thoughts today. The minute I said that, I realised it truly is ok to sometimes just sit with your thoughts. I felt ok feeling a little blue. I knew that it was important to feel the moment, and feel the low days, so that when I pull myself up again I’ll be truly happy and grateful for everything around me.
The world is so fast paced and we’re always rushing and wishing and hating… the news on tv is full of it.”It’s easy to sit with good feelings, but our society does not encourage us to embrace bad ones. We medicate sadness and anxiety. We stuff down feelings with food. We run to technology at the first sign of boredom. We have lost the ability to sit quietly with ourselves, and this is a great loss.” {source}
Take a few days to ponder your thoughts, go with your feelings and think through them. Even write them down if you think it might help.
I know I felt better once I just sat for a few days with my thoughts. Then I told myself that was enough and I let the positive thoughts/energy come back in… This week I feel much better.
I hope you’re ok too.
♥ KC.
