Warm greeting all. 🙏 💚
Yesterday and today have been very rough for me. I don't even know if I'll be able to express anything truly useful in this post. So much transition, shifting, and challenges. I'm doing my best, but some days, like today, all I feel like doing is laying in bed (which I'm doing right now) and sleeping. I don't want to go into details, and in truth I don't think the details are all that important. Most people I know are experiencing quite challenging times as of late. Some are handling it very well, others not so much. Today I feel like I'm squarely in the second category.
Even in the darkest and most difficult times, I repeat my affirmation/mantra/prayer:
I love myself!
I love my life!
I am overwhelmingly grateful!
I am so blessed!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
I repeat it especially when it does not feel true. I refuse to give into the downward spiral of hopelessness, despair, and depression. I've been there. Many times. I'm done with that. I know I've shared this affirmation here before, and I share it again now because I feel it is important, and it truly does help to refocus attention in a far more beneficial and life-affirming direction.
I am here today to say that I am #AliveAndThriving, even when it doesn't feel like it. I post, even when I really don't feel like it, because Hive is important to me, and I am excited about its potential, and my potential here. I've made a commitment to post at least once per day, and that is exactly what I'll continue to do.
For those of you who might be feeling something similar to what I expressed in this post, I want to tell you to don't ever give up. You, your love, and your unique magic in the world are inexpressibly important, even if it may not feel like it at any particular moment.
Thank you all for sharing this moment of challenge with me. 🙏 💚
