Get Goin'

One of the things I enjoy the most is also one of the things that I find most difficult. Choosing a topic to write about for my beloved blog is a personal challenge of mine, with the added pressure of pleasing my readers and leaving a lasting impression of them wanting more. When I come on here wanting to fill my own desire to write, wanting to give in to my own need, I tend to stare at the screen, type, delete, and retype, over and over. I tend to lead to the same topics- motivation, life, positivity, silver linings. But what happens when the best of me takes over? Where do the most positive people turn when they aren't feeling so uppity, so positive? I don't want to sugar coat my life and make it seem like I'm always this happy-go-lucky positive Polly. Life gets real. Real life gets stressful. Growing up is hard and moods change quite frequently. I'm very blessed to have the life that I do- full of love, of friends who will never leave my side, and a family that supports me and always promises laughter upon reunion.

But, this too shall pass. I am training myself today to get back into the game. There's no sitting out, I can't just watch it all go by. When life gets stressful I need to toughen up and face it! I am the only one who has control of my own life. I am activating my prior knowledge of positive thinking and looking at the bright side to understand that this is normal. It's normal to get upset and to feel stressed- but there are ways around it. I've read and researched and gone to yoga and I'm not going to let my mood get the best of me! I have worked very hard to get to this point in my personal life, where I can recognize what needs to be done and I can work towards achieving it. I don't need to drag other people down with me, but I can perhaps turn to them to lift me up. The people that are in my daily life are in it for a reason, and it's not a bad thing to ask for a lending hand. When the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'.

It's time for me to get goin'!
