Anxiety will not get the better of me....

Anxiety is a silent killer....killer of dreams, killer of hope, killer of motivation! Some days it is so hard to get up in the morning and just function....let alone do all the other things that come with a normal day.😩

I am a mom and a wife so there are things that just have to be done....no matter what! There also things that need to be done now on top of the other normal busy day. So why can't I get up and get motivated to do them?! DUHHHH!!

That silent killer called Anxiety is with me from the time I get up in the morning to the time I lay my head down on the pillow. Going to bed feeling so drained but feeling like I did nothing at all to move towards my goal...I lay there wide awake with a million thoughts in my head about most things that are not even in my control. Try to quiet the mind and push everything out of my head...I lay awake till midnight or even later on some nights.😫

I am getting older now so my body already wakes me up like clockwork before my alarm goes off. Funny side note: I always wondered why my grandparents never needed an alarm clock...LOL!!

Once I get back to my bed and try to enjoy that last hour before my alarm goes off...my chest starts to tighten up and I feel like I cannot breathe...no matter what position I am in. Then the thoughts creep in and I start to panic😬...why didn't I get more done yesterday? Why am I so unmotivated to do anything? I have an entire house to pack and clean and I cannot get anything done? Or so it seems in my brain.

Once it has become fact that I am not going to be going back to sleep....the stomach ache sets in and my guts are screaming at me to get it together! Lets look at emails and pay some bills now...yuck, more anxiety!😢

Now the head and neck pain comes along and I have got to do something to stop this before I lose another day to worry and stress!

So unbeknownst to my self I find inspiration on FB...crazy right?! Watching a video of this women named Rachel Hollis who manages to get me and my butt in gear to tackle this day! In just a few minutes she reminded me that I have been thru worse, I have felt worse and I got thru it!

I am sore from my workout on Monday so I cannot wait to get downstairs and get another workout in today. I have a plan set in my mind and I will stick to it...I will not let things keep me down after I have been knocked to the ground. I remind myself that I cannot be positive 100% of the time but I can bring myself back from the lows I let myself fall in.

It is so true and it was hard for me to believe for a long time but Positivity brings Positive things into your life! Get up and do your hair....put some make-up on....get a workout in and for pete's sake...read something positive and tell yourself something positive before you leave your bedroom in the morning!

I won't lie....I still feel anxious but not as much....the tight chest feels like a high high might come on so don't over do it and set up too many expectations at once. Take it one step at a time...every step you take is one step closer to meeting your goal!😁

Keep Pushing Forward....Never Give Up....You Are A Warrior...I Believe In You!
