The last few weeks have been a bit crazy for me. I have, at times, felt like I couldn't breathe or like I was drowning in all of the stuff I had going on. Last night while I was driving home, my mind was racing as I was thinking about all of the things on my to do list that were not done and my head began to pound.
I kept telling myself to calm down, stop stressing out, and the world would not stop just because I didn't finish everything I felt like I needed to. But you know what, I couldn't calm down. I was freakin' out and the twitching of my right eye was proof I was losin' it.
Just when I wanted to cry, a song started playing on the radio. I remembered loving this particular song and playing it to The Princess when she was still in my belly. I remember telling her that I knew life would be tough for her but this song expressed some of the things I wanted for her. And last night, in that moment as the song was playing, I decided to shut down the stress. I decided to focus on the things that are important and my to do list was not one of them! I decided to take a breath and let it go.
I'm not sure what you have going on in your life but if you're overwhelmed, stressed, or just need to take a minute to get yourself together - stop and listen to the lyrics of the song - I mean really listen.
Can we just talk about the days when MTV used to play music videos? When their name made sense because the station was about the music. Those were the good ol' days....
These days, I have to watch VH1 in the mornings while getting ready for work if I want to see any music videos. For some reason that makes me feel old & a little less cool. Don't ask me why. It just does!
However, there is an upside to watching this particular station. I discovered the "new release" I'm sharing today while painting my face like a clown putting on my eyeshadow last week.
It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head! Too soon to say if that's a good or bad thing! :)
Have you ever had a moment (or day..or week..or month...lol) where you felt like your life was spinning out of control? Where everything you touched turned to dust? Where you felt like you were wondering aimlessly through your life? Where "awesome" would be the last word you would use to describe yourself or anything you're doing ?
I'm pretty certain each of us has felt this way at one time or another. Truth be told, you might be feeling that way right now!
I think I might have what you need to help you put things into perspective and help you shake off the negativity.
