Since it's #MentalHealtnAwarenessMonth I'm going to get vulnerable... Yesterday was tough.
As I was driving home, I started getting the "what if" negative thoughts as I was approaching heavy traffic.
I got off the freeway before the anxiety got worse, parked my car at the closest "safe" place, called my husband crying because I was ashamed I could not "get my thoughts under control".
To make the long story longer...had to call my girls to pick me up as I was too afraid I couldn't drive in traffic and just gave up. Left the car several miles from my house, went home, waited a couple hours for traffic to die down to avoid another episode - then went to pick it up. Ugh!
I was disappointed in myself, but my hope is that by sharing my story and bringing this to light, I am able to know I am not alone in this.
Thank you for reading.

It’s so easy to be overwhelmed by my own thoughts. I’m working on being mindful of when I’m being swept away, and accepting the presence of the thoughts rather than fighting against them.

Oh yes!
I’m human, I admit I’m continuously turning down the volume of that inner voice whispering (taunting!?) ...what will they think?
They?
Who are they, anyways?
They ... is us (grammatically incorrect for effect, judgers!). So...double dare you. And me.
Let’s turn down the negative nelly in our collective head(s) and pump up the volume for what’s possible.

❣️ We all tend to carry some unhealthy beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us. I challenge you on this #MotivationMonday to identify one unhealthy belief that you regularly carry in each of these domains, and begin to notice when you have these thoughts. Take note of how these thoughts change your moods and behaviors. When you catch yourself having these thoughts, try to replace them with more realistic and positive ones, and begin to regain your power by changing your perspective. Repost: @amymorinauthor ❣️
"I lied and said I was busy. I was busy; but not in a way most people understand.
I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself that I am okay.
Sometimes, this is my busy....” b.oakman

I guess, the only thing I can never outgrow is my obsession for strangers. Walking along the beach and this little smiling boy is the cutest random stranger I have ever met. Nice meeting and playing with you, Kid.
