A happy day

“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you”- Lao Tzu

How true is this quote. It has really been resonating with me lately. I don't exactly know what has clicked inside my head, but I have been feeling so much better about my life. I can deal with certain things much better without taking several days in a hole to get over it. I am less anxious. I am less depressed. I have less issues with food. I have less issues with my body.

Yes it is still on my mind... but more at an 16% intensity, rather then a 85%. And that is most of the time now too.

My days are starting to get into a good routine. I wake up when the sun rises, make a coffee, meditate for 10 minutes (which I always look forward to!), then do a work out or some yoga. Then on most days I usually go to university. It feels good to be in a routine.

One thing I have noticed is that I cannot seem to rest until I have decided/planned what I need to do. It's like I have a constant to-do list going, and it either needs to be filed away under a category that is appropriate, or I need to deal with it and get it out of the way. I tend to struggle to go back to things. So if something is on my mind, I don't usually hesitate. If I do, I feel irritable, overwhelmed, lost and kind of go a little nuts. And I guess that explains part of where anxiety or depression stems from:

Anxiety= from an irritable/uneasy feeling of not doing something that you feel you "should" be doing

Depression= from a stagnant feeling of not having a purpose or feeling that you are not good enough to do something so you give up and feel powerless, dig yourself into a hole and cover yourself in.

The good news- when we recognise this and become more mindful in what we think, do and believe, we can rise out of these shitty moments and come home to our true essence. Realise our Golden Path. Become better at listening to our intuition and trusting that it is the best path to follow.

So give yourself permission to smile, laugh, be crazy, be wild, scream if you're angry and dance if you're happy.

Life doesn't have to be all serious.

Enjoy it a little xx
