Letting It Go

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.

  2. When my eyes start to twitch it's exactly when I know that I need to take a step back and reevaluate what's getting me stressed. Sometimes, it's not even worth the hassle.

    Hope you are doing better.

    Relax this weekend.

  3. What a beautiful thought. Thanks for sharing and I truly hope whatever stressors you have going on clear up. I always tell myself I can get through anything as long as I know it is just for a certian amount of time. "And this too shall pass". Keep on keeping on!

  6. LOVE that song. You're so right. I totally get it. I have had too many of those days the last year to count. I hope that you can slow down mama, and take a few deep breaths and just de-stress!!!! I know that is much easier said than done right? Thinking of you. Hope you're ok.

    Hugs!
