So today I've got a real simple diary entry. My realization today was be joyful, be encouraged, be positive. It's not something that comes natural— naturally for me when I get stressed out, when I get overwhelmed, and I have to be Be very aware of that. Be very intentional about my attitude. Because if I allow stress and fear, and sometimes it's not even fear that I can pinpoint, but I know the feeling. You know, the feeling is that I've lost or I'm going to lose something. And whenever that's going on, there's fear. And when I'm afraid, I'm not happy, I'm not lighthearted, I'm not encouraging. And that is not the way I want to show up for my boys or for the world. So my realization today is be intentional about being joyful, and letting go of stress and worry. Um, sounds really simple, and inside I feel like it's something I should have already overcome. But hey, I guess not. More work to be done. But it's a good thing. Awareness is wonderful. That's it.
