Proactive Therapy

At first, the anxiousness doesn’t feel negative, because I naturally function under an intense to-do-list, so I’m excited in the midst of adrenaline highlighting things off my list. The burn out always hits me by surprise (there’s only but so much one can bury inside before exploding). For me, the mental and emotional exhaustion leads to depression, and hours can become days of me staring at my to-do-list. My mind is scrambling, and I cannot shut the noise down in order to make positive decisions, or find hope within the pain. One thing that helps me start fresh is “spring cleaning”. I put the music on and feel like I’m also cleansing my soul. Tears are a must in this process, as I tend to forget that I am only human. Another good outlet is starting a project and sticking through it, and it will last as long as it should, until you are ready to rock and roll in life again. I started a remodel of my fire place. I am not a professional, so it forces me to have patience, it takes my mind off of everything else, even social media gets banned, until I have found some inner peace. Praying is a must, and yet, I still have not learned to truly let go and let God. However, instead of laying around, or binge eating, I share this information about myself hoping to inspire anyone who may be going through a rough time, and have prayed, but still finds themselves staring at a wall (dare to start a project), do something you have been holding off that is totally the opposite of anything you do on a regular, and guess what guys, my fire place is looking beautiful, it is not one hundred percent finished yet, but I’m on my way, and the proof of the most important benefit, is that I blogged today (all writers will understand where I am coming from). God Bless.

  1. Yes sister writers do understand because writing will always be better than any therapist because I’m doing all the talking and the shrinks making all the money lol however writing is medicine for the soul. When one shares ones own sacred heart and exposes her most vulnerable areas to others she blesses others while being watered herself. God bless you my sister, that blog entry was beautiful ❀
