When you wake up, what is the first thing you think of?
Do you wake up starting off your day with a positive frame of mind?
These are questions I constantly ask myself. All too often I find myself wallowing in the constant pain I live in. Chronic illnesses SUCK. I feel like NO ONE understands it. People will compare and say, “yeah I feel crappy too,” but they truly do not get it. It’s not the “normal” day-to-day exhaustion of living – it is way beyond that. Yet every day I get up and fight the good fight to get through my day and make the most of every minute I am on this Earth. Life is precious. It is far too precious to dwell constantly in negativity. It is just easier sometimes to wallow in self-pity and misery than to take that little bit of extra effort to refocus your mind and be positive. Yet once you get into that positive mindset, you feel so much better. So why do I not make more of an effort to do so? That’s the million-dollar question.
I am back on track now after about 2 months, as I just had a total hysterectomy and that set me back mentally and physically. Before that, I had made great progress in both my physical and mental well-being. I was walking twice a day, eating better, and listening to motivational podcasts. I am finally digging myself out of the “pit” I was in. This is why I finally created this blog – I am pushing myself to achieve my goals and dreams instead of just talking about it. Only I have the power to make things happen for myself – no one else. And if I don’t even try, I only have myself to blame.
