Mental clarity is a way of preserving my peace. My goodness life has been so busy lately, it feels like there isn’t enough time in the day and it seems my workload has doubled, but my mentals are very good. Even though I feel behind on a lot of things I’m in a good mental place, I’m chalking this up to some hidden anxiety and I’m dealing with that with self care, so it will pass.
I’ve been craving quiet moments throughout my days. Things can become so overwhelming and often I feel like i’m losing control, which sometimes triggers anxiety. I overcome this by prioritizing my self care, which comes in many forms: music, creative time, reading, praying, etc. I know that this anxiety will pass because God has been working on it for me, so I’m balancing my productivity and self care nicely. Baby steps, like putting away a load of laundry or cleaning my house, enables me to feel like i’m tackling my to-do list successfully.
I’ve been reading this John Thompson II autobiography called I Came As A Shadow and it’s fantastic, I won’t giveaway spoilers but I am gaining a lot of perspective about what he and so many others have gone through. I also am admiring him in a lot of ways because he talks about matters of the heart a lot, and I resonate with his feelings. It’s a peaceful and informative read, it’s a much needed break from every part of adulting, ah, rest.
My mentals are good, I’m practicing gratitude and self love, I’m staying away from unnecessary distractions, I’m in a good place and I refuse to let the worries of the world take hold of me. I’m all about chasing peace.
