I have gone back and forth about this post. And really trying to figure out if this is something I wanted to talk about publicly, but I realized something. This is a part of what makes me who I am and what I do. One of the reasons I wanted to do this blog is to be able to help people who may be going through any of the things I go through. However, I will not be going into detail about what happened (for now, until I figure out if that is healthy for me), but I will be talking about my experiences after that incident and how I handle it throughout.
Well, as I am sure everyone here can gather, it is a little challenging for me to be consistent without a good schedule. Hence, the posts are not as frequent as they should be whatsoever. I am sorry about that and will be getting better and better at this as I level out a routine.
I often overthink everything, and that includes what I post. I always want to make sure I write the right things that will be helpful. I struggle with that. It isn’t until I make myself just do it that it comes out like a masterpiece lol. Being someone who overthinks and can get lost in their own head, it is crippling at times. The worst possible scenarios play out in my head and it is usually never that bad at all. I deal with this by breathing, writing down why I think that, and what the likeliness of that situation being reality is.
Venting helps. Calling a few good friends and chatting it out, getting out of the house, singing, dancing, etc. all of these things are really good outlets for me. As well as hiking and doing absolutely anything outdoors.
The biggest thing that I learned (which took awhile) is that it is okay to feel however you need to feel. Take your time to heal and to learn what is going on with you. Unfortunately there is no manual to life or feelings. We all just kind of guess and go by a trial and error basis. Taking time out for myself has proven to be challenging with two kids and a career and everything else, but I am getting better at it.
So everyone, here is just an intro into my wild and weird but beautifully creative mind. How do you deal with your stresses? What are some things you struggle with? Please feel free to reach out to me.
Simply,
Miss Shay
