I’m really committed to this journey I’m on. It’s clear cut straight to the point–do you aggressively. I know I need to silence the noise you know the intrusive thoughts that think they run your life. The gag is they don’t. I now give myself 10 mins exactly to feel a feeling and although this hasn’t always been my practice it has been extremely helpful. I move on and I get hyped because I’m not wasting my time going down the rabbit hole with no results. I’d make a horrible Alice in Wonderland because I’d just be stuck in place if I allowed all the unknowns to block my mission.

Fun fact Alice in Wonderland is my favorite movie and I loved that along her journey she had many questions that at times didn’t produce any real answers. But, throughout the entire movie, she was forced to face herself. That’s where I’m at. Honestly, that’s where I’ve always been. I’m just staring back at myself, but I know what to do this time.

Here’s how I get back to myself:

1. I give myself 10 mins or less to name how I’m feeling. I sit with it. I process it. This could look like describing the feeling out loud, writing in my journal, or sitting quietly to reflect.
2. After my 10 mins are up if I’m still feeling strongly then I take a moment to be still. This could look like meditating, laying down in your favorite spot at home, taking a walk, or any place that will allow you to quietly reflect.
3. Whichever the outcome, the goal is to always move forward in a healthy way. This is now where solutions come into play.
4. Now that I’ve taken a step forward I can now think about what I need. It may be a drink of water, some tea, listening to music, or thinking about a task that can stimulate peace of mind.
5. Once that’s complete, I am on the road to recovery. I may reward myself with a snuggle from a loved one, doing a fun activity, or whatever may bring a huge smile to my face.

In this world, I do my best to stop, think, and feel with the goal of wellness being at the center. I encourage you to do the same.

Love,
