Not only was it lashing down and blowing a hooley but the news was filled with reports of no fuel, food shortages, the energy crisis, covid cases on the rise and that we should prepare for a bleak Christmas…
Even on a good day, life can be overwhelming.
So if you feel like it's 'all a bit much', here's some things to remember.
- How something ends up never depends on how much you worry about it. Let it go. What will be, will be.
- Don't honour every request with a yes. If you don't say no, there will be nothing left of you to say yes.
- If it feels like too much, it's too much. Instead of downplaying or dismissing your feelings, trust them.
- If you have to apologise for being you, find new people. You deserve better and we desperately need you to be unapologetically you.
- Holding the weight of other people's expectations is hugely overwhelming but it's not your responsibility. Isn't it time to live the life you dreamed about instead of the one others expect of you?
- Don't wait for things to be good to be grateful. Even in the dark times, there are things to be thankful for. It may be more challenging to feel but then it's even more important to do it.
- Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes…including you.
