This
summer has been filled with A LOT of stressful stuff. Most of it good,
stressful stuff, but some of it has been not so good. Slowly but surely, as the
stressors have continued to increase, my ability to function has decreased. My
hormones have gotten out of whack, I have been struggling with bouts of
depression and I have been just trying to survive.
My
last scheduled stressor was on Sunday. I decided that once Monday came, I was
going to pull myself up by the bootstraps and get over it. Enough is enough!
And that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do.
I’m
eating like a healthy person again. I’m up and functioning. I’m exercising as
often as possible. But most importantly, I am determined to enjoy my kids every
day until school starts. They made adventure lists lasts night. We are going to
have an adventure of some sort every day for the rest of the summer. We started
today by going to the local children’s museum and coming home and making
homemade fudgsicles. Awesome!
Battling
depression and anxiety is an ongoing process requiring various tools and aids. Sometimes
I get so wrapped up in my pity party that I forget that the first step to
getting back on track is simply deciding to do something about it. So that’s my
uncomfortable for the beginning of this week… I’m deciding not to wallow any
more, but to start over and get back on track. There’s nothing like telling
your kids that you are going to do something to help keep you accountable.
What
first step do you need to take today?
