Finally Loving Life

Hello beautiful people,

Today was a day where something just came over me. Nothing in particular was wrong. Matter of fact, a lot of things are coming together in a pretty abundant way, so this “cloud” coming over me took me off guard. I was feeling sad because I realized that I didn’t have anyone to tell my good news to, and it reminded me that, whether good or bad, I’m in a pretty isolated period of my life, and have been for a long time.

But that isn’t the purpose of this post. Although my feelings concerning this are valid, the timing is what made me give it a quizzical brow. Out of all the times for this to happen, now I decide to be Sadness from Inside Out? The moment where I needed to lock in and finalize a lot of things this week?

In that moment, I realized how important it is to stay on top of your mental game. It’s not that these moments don’t or shouldn’t happen, because, let’s be honest, there is good and bad happening simultaneously at all times, and it is up to us to determine which one should be the focus.

On a normal day, I would have catered to this side of myself to nurture and comfort it as an acknowledgment that my feelings are valid, as I choose to pause and give myself the time to rest, release, and recover. But looking at how this showed up and when, I knew that this was a distraction.

Yes, you can be your own distraction. There is a reason why they call it self-sabotage, and it happens in the blink of an eye. Now that I have really taken the time to focus on my mental health, with walks outside, meditation, prayer, and all of my other spiritual practices, I now can discern between what is good for now but may be a distraction under other circumstances.

I say it often: we are all one decision away from a good decision or a bad decision that can affect your overall life. No one is exempt. So if you can learn how to navigate your thoughts, you can navigate the experience you create to live your life.

Until next time,
Love you lots – Sacred
