Turning goals into clear visions

What are your dreams? What passions have you had for years, or even perhaps as long as you can remember? Perhaps even as a child, you can recall these dreams being a part of you. Thoughts of these dreams you continue to return to time and time again. You think about them for a while, and then you place them on the back burner, thinking that there is nothing that you can do to pursue these dreams. And while there may be some valid reasons for the delay, such as education, financial investment, resources, support; it doesn’t mean that it is impossible.

Your dreams are not created to make you feel doubtful, doomed, or unworthy. They are your true passion, and a part of who you are. And this passion constantly aches to break free; to express itself through everything that you do in life. And these dreams are waiting for you create, and to allow you to be who you were meant to be all along.

Setting aside the fact that these are dreams and not your current reality; close your eyes for a moment and imagine yourself living those dreams. Imagine how you would feel being free from the limitations that have held you back from pursuing those dreams. Imagine how these dreams would change your life. How these dreams can create a positive difference for you, and your loved ones, the goodness that will unfold. And from that, the additional wonderful experiences that you aren’t aware of in this very moment that would come from these dreams being born, nurtured, and fulfilled.

The only thing that holds you back from living your dreams, are the limitations that you allow your mind to create. Perhaps it is fear, anxiety, etc. These are only illusions in your subconscious mind. It’s the negative self talk that often stagnates or even sabotages our growth to go after it. Your life is driven by your thoughts. As you think positively, you act positively. And as you think negatively, you act negatively. Tell yourself that you are no longer going to allow these negative thoughts to drive you in life. Reprogram your subconscious mind to be aligned with your deepest desires. Think your way into positive living. Practice every day being the person that you want to be, even fake it til you make it, until you fulfill the dreams you hold dear. The more you practice thinking positively, the more you will find you are working toward making those dreams become real, lasting, and valuable part of your life.

As you have imagined what it would be like to have these dreams come true, you are already on your way to making them come true. Just simply by having those few positive thoughts, you have made one step forward. Follow through with the next step, and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Soon you will find that your dreams become closer and closer as you take each step.

Soon you will find that your dreams, are a part of your daily life, and no longer something that you wish for. You will feel more alive than you have ever felt. Because you are finally the person who you were meant to be all along.

Turning “what-if’s” into positive aspirations

Life is full of uncertainty for sure, but we often look at uncertainty as a negative, and even in a pessimistic way. We allow uncertainty to dictate our decisions, stagnate our actions, and even completely sabotage our true desires. At any given turning point in our lives, we may quote what-if this or what-if that, assuming the worst case scenario.

But we can simply “choose” to use what-if’s in a positive way. The end result is still uncertain, but what’s brilliant about it is that it eliminates the negativity, and opens a door for possibilities to come into fruition. It restores open mindedness and hope.

Here are a few to get you started:
What if I pass the test?
What if I get the job?
What if everything works out?
What if they really like me?
What if I succeed?

What if…..fill in the blank!! Give it a try, feel the shift, and take the actions one step at a time to begin turning that uncertainty into your new reality. #Uncertainty #Positivity #Hope #Confidence #MentalHealth #Depression #MightyTogether

Friendly Reminder 5

Just a friendly reminder that imperfections are allowed. Don't hold yourself to impossible standards, or judge yourself too harshly. The Japanese art of kintsugi is a traditional repair method that involves sealing cracks with gold to highlight imperfections and embrace the beauty of flawed objects. You are perfectly imperfect, and that's okay.

#GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder at it Again

When does it slow down?
Does it ever get tired?
Why me?
What’s wrong with me?

Ever since I was let go from my job in an email no less, the only place someone could find me is at home. I don’t go anywhere unless I absolutely have to, and even with that, Hunter my #esa dog HAS to be with me with one of my sons to keep me calm while I drive. My sons help me a lot which I’m always grateful, but I also feel guilt of having to ask them to help me with things I should be able to do myself.

If home delivery is possible and at a reasonable price, I would do that instead of saving even more money by going myself. I haven’t seen my PCP since I think October, and I haven’t been in a dentist chair close to a year. Besides my grandma and my two sons who live with me, I’m only fully comfortable being face to face with my best friend who I’ve known since we were basically in diapers, and she’s the only one I’d let come over to my house uninvited.

I get #Anxiety thinking of other uninvited guests. I get anxiety when my phone rings, or when I receive mail. I get anxiety when my mom or aunt asks me through text what’s going on with me.

I get #PTSD when random thoughts of disasters enter my mind… fire, tsunami, the mountains I live between erupting, or thoughts of what if whenever my sons want to go out (I still let them, but it annoys me that I have to tell them to text me to and from places so I know they’re okay). When I think of people I knew that passed from illnesses that were caught too late, which turns to me thinking what if it happens to me. Then to me not wanting anything to happen because I don’t ever want to leave my sons.

Having my sons changed a lot of how I think, and my #mentalwellbeing doesn’t take me to that dark place like it used to way before I became a mom. I want to stay here and see my boys excel in life and grow up to be amazing men. I want to see them have their own family… I seen too many loved ones dying to not want that happen to myself.

I’m trailing off again, so I’m going to put on soothing music and lay down with my dog Hunter… did I mention that late at night by myself, I sometimes feel alone?

Anyway… I’m always wishing for anyone dealing with similar things, wishing them #Positivity and #strength to tackle each day one at a time. #weareloved #wematter #wearenotdefinedbyourillness #EndTheStigma #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealthAwareness

One (RANT) DAY at a TIME

I’ll have #Gooddays & I’ll have bad, though I’m still constantly struggling with my #innerself daily. There are a lot of things I know I have to do, but either my #Anxiety gets worked up, or I’ll try to get it done, or I tell and/or give myself reminders & still somehow end up forgetting about it or I’ve become distracted.

I’ve noticed that my train of thought can now go all over the place. Which is why I now have a lot of notebooks that I could use if I needed to let it out.

When it comes to phone calls I need to make, or appointments to schedule… I spend hours worrying about the #Start - #during - & #End of the whole thing. Before I know it, I can’t call because they’re now closed. Of course now I’ve become #Irritated & #angry at myself.

It never used to be this hard. I know I need to find a job, even IF the job I had #terminated me in part of my #MentalIllness . I feel stuck with no #Positivity in site. & It doesn’t help that even with or without my anxiety ramping up, my #Pride will not let me ask for help.

But…
•I give myself a ‘thumbs up’ daily for getting out of bed.
• I cheer when I have motivation to shower.
• I pat myself on the back, in my mind of course… when I do laundry & put them away.

I still struggle with driving anywhere if I’m alone. Hunter, who is my furbaby soulmate, but also my #esa is always by my side, & either one of my sons or sometimes both would join me so I’m not freaking out while driving on the road.

I feel #Guilt that I’m not being the mom that they need me to be. I feel bad every single time I ask them for help (when I’m getting #overwhelmed trying to tidy up the house). I am mad that my #breakdown caused me to fail in my performance at work & that I #Struggled to do the things they asked of me (because I was never informed from the start that there was info that they could show me & help me with #FMLA ‘cause it would’ve been easy back then to get things in order than it was a couple of months ago). I felt #invisible . I felt my #Voice didn’t matter. I tried… all by myself… in the end, the company I loved working at didn’t give a … about me.

I’m sorry for ranting about nonsense. :(
