Don’t Want To Read The Post, Try Listening To The Audio Version!
Life is not perfect and we all have struggles, sadness, pain, days when things fall apart, and when we don’t feel as strong.
When I woke this morning, I did not feel as energetic and as happy as usual. Nothing major occurred—no issues with health, family, friends, or employment. I affirmed my daily affirmations below.
“This is a good day, I am grateful for my family, friends, life, health, employment, and all I have.”
Yet, something felt disconnected within.
I keep a journal and reviewed the past day(s).
Summary, I jogged, prepped food, met clients, went to the stores, read, spent time with hubby, and watched a few of my recorded shows. No single thing which contributed to the disconnect within.
So, how do we get out of our way?
- Know it is okay not to be happy and energetic every day and recognize the feeling is normal.
- Write down what you are feeling at a particular moment.
- Ask, does the feeling have to do with expectations created and not met, which causes mental uneasiness or wariness? If so, rewrite the expectation(s) and create another picture.
- Reflect on what you are appreciative of, which will change the demeanor.
- Encourage someone in your life, not force, demand, or be pushy, but encourage.
- Give something away to someone less fortunate.
- Connect with friends or family, and have a good laugh.
Additional food for thought:
- Keep a journal of positive affirmations.
- Do not speak negatively of anyone, no matter what, yet use one of your positive affirmations to describe the person(s) in a good light.
- Have someone share their story and listen, no advice, but listen and support.
I encourage you to try the above for five days.
A book to read this month: The Seven Day Mental Diet by Jacqueline Garwood

As Always, we are stronger together. How will you rise? I am here and listening.
I have had many bad days over the past months and was thinking something was wrong with me. Thanks for reminding me that it’s okay not to beat myself up. Thank you.
In life you a have up’s and downs but the key to it is how you are dealing with those feelings at that moment.
As a Christian trusting Jesus
with all of my emotions is how I safeguard myself from allowing ME to make unwise decisions..
Not speaking negative regardless of what is said is very wise advise.
The overwhelming feeling of self doubt bogs many of us into a depressive state of mind. Writing to allow those feelings some form of release will help.
Thanks for the encouragement and book referral!!
Thanks
