True Life: I Live With Unsettling Thoughts.

Just because I live, breathe and promote a happy, hopeful lifestyle, I am not exempt from the NORMALCY of being human. The pop up thoughts of fear and worry that I may not be as happy as I think, or as I appear. The feeling of anxiousness that creeps in under my eyes as I approach a subject or situation that threatens my comfortability and has me questioning my self-awareness. We ALL live these moments, we all live THROUGH these moments. These moments are what make us capable. How we reassure ourselves that we are strong enough. Whether it’s subconscious or incredibly reflective, we are made to be tackled, beat up, tested and still power through. Our minds are powerful enough to be blown. Our brains are complex enough to be picked at. Our bodies are fighters and our weapon is our ability to motivate ourselves. Within these moments of doubt, or aggravation, we are so tempted to shut down. Tired of fighting, desperate for a break. Forgetting that even while we may be resting, exhausted and down for the count, we are actually in the process of fighting. Fighting to just be. We may not like where we are, but we’re present. Breathing, living. When it comes down to it..promoting happy, healthy living even through personal struggle brings me back to that simple fact that I’ve done so much, I am indestructible. No matter what life throws at you, trust your capability. When we feel like we’re drowning, we’re actually treading water. We are staying afloat, surviving the storm. Cultivate on not only past accomplishments, but the hero within ourselves that maintains survival when we lose sight of our power. Trust, believe. Take a deep inhale, and exhale with a smile. You are doing it.
