Take that day, but don't give up!

We all know those times where you are so down you just can't get up again and everything else seems to be going wrong also and that makes you get even more down...it happens I get it. And I get when that happens it feels like giving up is the only option. Now I don't mean suicide, when I say give up I mean just stop fighting to achieve whatever it is or to just not care. But giving up is not the only option. I read the best thing the other day on facebook, this person said 'Giving up may seem like the best way to go but it's not. If you have to give up, give up today. Sit down, binge watch Hulu or Netflix and gorge yourself on junk food. Start over tomorrow and try again.' That! That statement hit me hard and it reminded of something I once read on pinterest that said 'Sometimes it's okay if the only thing you did today was just breathe.' I get it. Anxiety and depression are terrible things and everyday you are struggling against it. I get it! Sometimes it's okay to just take a personal day. Binge watch that show you love while you eat ice cream, it's fine. If that's what it takes for you to continue going after your dreams then do it. Taking a break is perfectly okay and don't et anyone else tell you any different.

Take that day, but don't give up. Fight for your dream, even if it takes you longer than it takes others. Go after what you want, even if people think you can't make it. Shoot for the moon! Don't give up. Fight.  I get that it's exhausting but achieving that dream is so worth it. Before you give up, think of why you held on for so long. There is a reason you held on this long, don't give that reason up, don't give your dream up. So yes, if you must give up then just take that break and continue going and fighting tomorrow. Sometimes we can be fighting so hard for something that we become so overwhelmed that we can't think or see signs clearly. Sometimes that day to relax and not think about it will help you see things clearer. Sometimes our perspective just needs a little adjusting and that can be done by simply taking a break and reevaluating later on. 
So don't feel bad about taking a break but don't give up!! 

IF you ever feel like giving up shoot me an email! I am always here!

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi...

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...

Rare Jewel of a Day

As a person living with anxiety and depression you get use to having things occur on a daily bases. Most of the time you go through the day and have become so accustom to feeling a certain way that you don't even NOTICE it; it becomes the norm. When you discuss how it's like living with anxiety and/or depression you discuss the bad days, not the everyday life that it affected by it because you don't realize that you are affected by it by most days. You start to notice this when you have the rare, amazing day where you feel good. You feel like you had ten cups of coffee (or energy drink for those that don't do coffee) because you are up and aware, you are not feeling down and tiered or nervous about everything. You are aware of everything going on in a different way; in a way that you aren't in your everyday life. What causes these day to occur? What do you do when they do? This is what I'm going to discuss in this post. What causes these days to randomly occur...
