Oh happy Wednesday.
Let's talk about something for a second. Motivation.
Something I've been lacking and desperately trying to find lately. Sometimes things can just become so overwhelming I feel like I'm digging and digging, trying to find this motivation. Through being everyone else's therapist, I've realized something. I put way too much pressure on myself. Why do I put this pressure on myself? I really have no idea. I do know that the constant pressure has been weighing me down and making it hard to find that motivation. I'm tough on myself. In therapy I teach my clients how to work towards changing their thinking pattern. It's something I've been trying to work on, myself.
I'm constantly reminding myself that it's okay to mess up.
It's okay to forget things
It's okay to be selfish sometimes.
It's okay to eat the extra chocolate.
It's okay to buy the shoes (or the purse, or the clothes) if it makes me feel a little better.
It's okay to say "NO"
It's okay to not know what my life will look like in six months.
Not having control over some things in my life makes me feel a little "crazy" sometimes. And that's okay, too. When I feel like this, I just envision my "happy place"...the beach!

So, I guess today's "random" took things in a little bit of a different direction than usual. It feels really, really good to get that all out there, though. So, thanks for bearing with me. I hope you all have a great Wednesday!
