Saw this on a wall in Florida and it feels fitting.
Needing some self love today. 💕
I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with all the thoughts and emotions running through my head lately. My ADHD has been running high and focusing has been a struggle.
My thoughts running back and forth between worry about others, my kids, my husband, finances, work, moving, not doing enough, thinking about all the bad and terrible things that are happening in the world. How do we keep each other safe. How do we stay emotionally healthy. How do we prevent the bad from happening.
It’s a lot. And I know I’m not the only person who has felt almost crazy from all the thoughts. My heart hurts sometimes from it all.
I’m thankful for my husband today. I called him and after he asked a couple times what was wrong I just unloaded all the thoughts I’ve been having and I said I know I sound crazy. It’s insane to be having all these different thoughts and emotions, I’m all over the board! And he said no, you’re not crazy. And you don’t sound crazy. And just like that, I didn’t feel crazy.
The only way I know to stay calm and gather myself back up is to write. Organize my thoughts. I grabbed the last notebook I bought and a pen. And I wrote all the things that would feel encouraging to hear someone say to me.
Todays Self Love Notes
Because I know them about myself. I know this is who I am. Aside from being a mom, a wife, a friend, I am just Me. I know I’m Good, I know my Worth and I know God made me. I have purpose every day and He made me passionate for a reason.
Even when the thoughts are running so rampant and they are almost crippling, I know I can choose to turn them into better thoughts. That’s my gift. The ability to find the good in all the bad. To focus so hard on the positive that somehow eventually everything has a positive and beautiful light on it. Being happy for no other reason than to just be happy. And if you’re the eternal optimist like me, you know exactly what I’m talking about. That’s a Gift.
I want to take it all and grow from the pain. I want to use my struggles as future strength and most of all I want to love more.
LOVE MORE. Even myself. 💗
