Hi there,
This post is coming to you from my couch. Here I am, in my sweats, laptop in front of me and finally feeling like writing again. Truth be told it took me a while to get back to blogging. We just returned from a week long holiday and I feel uncomfortable saying so but “boy did I need that”!
To be honest I have / had not been feeling too well the last couple of weeks. Not constantly down or something in particular. Just down on and off and more worried on a regular basis, which is never a good sign. The situation with my mom being one of the fire-starters and I guess the shitload of the past year coming back to haunt me.
I knew pretty well what needed to change but this challenged me in many ways. A conversation with one of my best friends made me realize that it all comes down to expectations. The more I expect or hope for in a difficult situation, the bigger the dissapointment will be.
After realising this I started implementing the “gotta protect your heart” mentality.
To me this means many things, but you get the point.
Going into a difficult or hard situation I try to oversee the possible outcomes and take into account how things can go off the rails. So far it has worked wonders for me and I feel much more confident going into any situation, even something simple like a long roadtrip with a 13 month old.
I feel like i’m out of the dark patch. Those ups and downs are part of life. And the deeper downs from the last few weeks might have been just what I needed to gain a little perspective and insight.
I’ll be fine. Just gotta protect my heart!
