Grounded

I’ve grounded myself. It’s been a rough week and a rough day. I snapped at people I shouldn’t have and my reactions haven’t been in line with my values and beliefs. So I’m grounded. I’m taking time to be still and recalibrate. Sometimes we have to be grounded to #BeHappy and #FindTheJoy.

That was my facebook post today. 

This week has been very stressful.  I am overly anxious.  I am over-reactive. 

I’m not sure what to do, but snapping at people isn’t the answer.  Today’s migraine didn’t help things either, it made me over emotional .  To top things off, I stress ate a ginormous chicken Greek salad for lunch.  

Reacting and stress eating…yea, that’s the way to get by.

Anxiety, pain, fear, anger and every other negative emotion, all have a way of clipping our wings.  When our wings are clipped we cannot fly.  

When we cannot fly, we aren’t free.

When we are not free…we look to blame others.  But there are times when there is no other. It’s us.  It’s the person looking back at us in the mirror.  We have to stop deflecting.

Sometimes we have to ground ourselves.  We have to take a pause.  We have to take time to stop and reflect.  Take time to consider how we can respond in these situations in the future.

These times are both terrible…and wonderful.  They are truly needed.

So ground yourself when you have to.  Take time to stop and reflect.  

Being grounded will surely bring you joy.
