This Will Not Be Another Draft (1 minute read)

I refuse to let another one of my blog post turn into a draft.

I hold back periodically because self-doubt and fear but where does that get me? Where does fear get us? It gets us further away from being at our happiest. What’s that quote…. hold on googling it. Ah yes, the great Wayne Gretzky said it best, “You miss a 100% of the shots you don’t take.” That quote has so many meanings.

Holding back and not taking those shots prevent you from what? Living life to your fullest? Saying how you really feel? Taking the path that’s right for you? Slighting yourself of what does your mind and body good?

You could be stuck in the “uncomfortable comfort zone.” Change is wicked scary. It took me 30 years to get to the point where I’m at. I didn’t have the resources or the power within to help me make that change right away. It was a slow process but I knew it had to happen or it would have gotten the best of me. It will get the best of you too if you don’t make a plan. Start slow but start somewhere.

Listen, life is never going to be perfect but if you have the right mindset and stay positive as much as you can, life will seem beautiful regardless.

Stop worrying, stop feeling bad about hurting other peoples feelings when you are hurting inside because of them.

If you think about it, what does it really take to get you grounded and clear your mind? Self-care is responsible for a lot of things in your life. If you don’t take care of you first, how can you function properly? Even if it’s for 10 minutes, that’s 10 minutes less of enduring chaos in your life.

If you’re home, go to that favorite spot. Left-side of the couch, right-side of the couch, in your bed, or that favorite comfy chair. Play a game on your phone, yes on your phone. Don’t interact with anyone just scroll through Pinterest, play WordChums, watch funny videos. Color, read a chapter in your book or journal your thoughts for those 10 minutes. Do whatever it takes for those 10 minutes to get you right. Do not feel guilty, it’s only 10 minutes. You are special and important. This is your daily reminder to not forget it.
