LIFE

in #lifestyle7 years ago

I'm really struggling today...

There I said it.

Not every day is a win.

Some days are just bad. I'm glad they are few and far between.

So what happened?

Well I'm honestly feeling overwhelmed with all on my plate today.

So I can't focus.

I can't get any momentum.

I begin to shut down.

I feel alone.

My only window to the world is social media, which helps a bit.

But again, it turns into a huge distraction.

So today is not that day.

I feel guilty.

I feel I've let people down -- my teams, my family, myself.

BUT why share this with you?

3 reasons:

  1. Owning up to this helps me to acknowledge and manage it better.
  2. Perhaps sharing vulnerability helps others knowing that we ALL go through this sometimes.
  3. I hope to start a discussion to provide both accountability & inspiration.

So what's next & how do I deal with a 'dark day'?

A. I acknowledge it happens.
B. I reach out to my support network.
C. I forgive myself.
D. I focus on gratitude for all that I do still have.
E. I embrace the idea that tomorrow is a fresh start.

With that I leave you: hopefully a little bit better, with a little more understanding & a little more hope.

ANYONE ELSE ever have this kind of day?

Maybe if YOU share your story, it'll help others. (and me too)

Thanks. For listening too.
