Sometimes it’s just all a bit too much

There’s a lot going on in the world right now.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget that millions of people have hard stuff happening, when you’re drowning in your own hard stuff.

Big bills that show no sign of ending, really sick family members, ultra hard times in business, scary health shit. Shall we throw the cost of living and state of the country in there just for shits and giggles?

Sometimes it all piles on and it just feels a bit much.

That time for me was this morning. I intentionally sat in the sunshine with my peppermint tea and my headphones. The plan was to listen to my woo-woo manifesty music and see what I could put into the world (can you tell I’m not naturally a woo-woo manifesty person??)

It went well for a while, sitting there in the warm sun, then suddenly I found myself bawling my eyes out, sitting there in the morning sunshine with my dog licking my face.

Is that perhaps what I actually needed? Maybe. Once I was done I carried on with the plan and my mind was a lot quieter, so I guess I did achieve something.

Normally I don’t post about the hard stuff, I prefer to keep it to myself and only share with those closest to me. But right now, there’s so much hard stuff that sometimes it bubbles over.

If you’ve got lots going on right now and it all feels too much, just know I feel you. We’ll get through this and life will get better.
