Feeling The Weight Of The World

Feeling The Weight Of The World 

With all that's going on in the world it has taken a toll on all of us. I feel like I must write and speak about what's going on in our country more and more. I cannot ignore it and pretend it is not happening.

But I want to make sure I still fill both you and myself up with some positivity. 

So if you follow me you know I do Monday messages which are what I learned in church or about having faith. Now I will be starting Feel good Fridays, so we will have something to look forward to before the weekends. That we can have some inspiration and hope in these dark times. So, welcome to the first Feel Good Fridays of many.

Now I know that lately many of us are feeling the weight of the world. I know you go to sleep and wake up with a heaviness in our hearts that we cannot shake. The anxiety and sadness covers us as we watch what is going on in the world. Many of us stay up at nights worrying about our children or grandchildren and the world that we are leaving to them.

Some people have chosen to put their heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening and I get wanting to do that because many days it is too overwhelming.

What I've learned not just from this but from times in my past is I have to have outlets otherwise I can slip into depression or back into my old drug habits. 

So I exercise, or I do yoga. 

I clean or I do projects in my home. 

I meditate or pray. 

I give thanks every single day, and I practice gratitude. I spend time with the people I love, I go to church and I give back. These are the things that ground me, and that make me feel better.

Now you may have other things that ground you and that's great, whatever it is that helps you overcome those feelings are what you need to use. But you must take the time out for yourself and your wellbeing. 

I remember once one of my therapists said to me “You know on the airplane they tell you to put your mask on first before you put it on your loved ones? It's because if you don't do yours first, take care of yourself first then you won't be able to help others. 

That hit a cord with me, and I started to do things for myself. I know it's hard especially when you're a wife and mother, you tend to put everyone first. You are always last, your needs come last. But how can you pour into others when your cup is dry? You can't.

The world will not end if you go for a massage or facial or if you take a class you love. I started with a note on my bedroom door that said do not knock unless the house is on fire and set a timer for 15 minutes so I could meditate. 

Do you know how guilty I felt at first? Omg how can I do this? But I needed this 15 minutes a day that were just mine for meditation to help ground me, to find myself in my thoughts. To manifest what I wanted, and to help me get through another day of this verbal abuse. 

Guess what? The world didn't end, my kids were fine, my ex husband had to wait an extra 15 minutes to abuse me again but these minutes were mine, something I did for me and it was heaven.

So today my friends remember we all need to release our stress, we need to turn off the television or our phones. We need to disconnect from all the bad and just concentrate on the good and on peace within ourselves. If we don't, all of this stress will go somewhere else. It will end up making us drink or do drugs, overeat or over shop, or lose our minds. We need to refill our own cups, and to put on our masks first. We all need to be the change we want to see.
