Anxiety and Stuff

Last week was rough. I am a wife, mother, and dog mom. I work full time at home (right now). The kids are in school part time (I hate it). I am in a cohort for work (it takes up twice as much time as they communicated and I'm OVA IT!). I am enrolled in a year long Spiritual Class which I love (but should have been over about a month ago. AND...I'm enrolled in a two year Naturopathy class that meets twice a week (just started a month ago). Let's just say that my CUPETH RUNNETH OVERETH!

I am grateful for the opportunities. Unfortunately, I am a woman of balance. Yes, I am organized but when I'm overwhelmed the anxiety kicks in. Anything and everything that I eat will cause my stomach to go into knots. My eczema will flare up. I become easily distracted, unproductive, and moody.

With everything going on globally, I had enough. I felt smothered and poisoned by the expectation of others. I felt like my personal freedoms where being threatened. This hasn't been the first time that I have felt this way in my adult life. The challenge is recognizing that this feeling is NOT good for me mentally and a change needs to occur. Some people go talk to a therapist. Others go to oracles and get readings. Been there and done that. For me, I go within. I lit every candle I had on my mantle. I asked God, spirit guides, and my most beloved ancestors to help direct me to make the right moves and shifts so I can be the best ME. Then, I listened....

It's one thing to have faith. But, it's another to take action. I had a couple of tough conversations. I cancelled a couple of things. Clearing up my schedule took the pressure off and I worked on high priority items. I'll be honest...it gave me time to do the things I really enjoy and want to do. Today is a new day. So far, this week feels better!
