I am feeling much better about things today. Actually, I noticed the change 3 days ago.
Once I understood what I had been doing to myself recently and the slippery slope I was sliding down,every thing changed.
Shining a light on and illuminating the landscape around me, made all of this change possible.
 Fear lurks in the shadows and the darkness.
I am breathing better, sleeping better, eating better and walking a whole lot taller.
Here's the funny part.
Nothing has changed other than my mindset.
My plate is still as full as ever.
The demands on my time have not changed.
I am still performing the same functions as I did last week and the week before and the week before that.
The difference is, I stopped hiding behind my fears and anxieties. I stopped letting myself feel abused. I spoke my mind, had the conversations I wanted to have and have a clearer understanding of what I want in my life.
I acknowledged me.
Reaffirming who I am and what is important to me gives me purpose.
The tasks and chores I perform have no effect on this.
As long as when I am busy at doing these things I do not loose track of or forget who I am and what I value in life.
I no longer feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. In fact, I find that I can stand upright with the entire Universe strapped to my back and confidently ask "what else you got!"
Bring it on....I can handle it!
