As the month of June comes to an end, I thought it would be a suitable time for an update on my journey to peace. So much has happened since my last Chasing Peace update seven months ago, but I’m going to just give the cliff notes to my peace journey. As I mentioned … More 3 Seasons of Antidepressants and Counseling. (Chasing Peace pt 5). (Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Buspar)
Last year was one hell of a journey! There were so many lessons and life changing moments. I’ve learned more about myself and embraced the need for change. I pushed back my fears and started counseling and learned that I cannot fight depression and anxiety alone. I started my new medication back in November … More New Steps, New Adventures and New Paths. (Chasing Happiness after Grief)
Lately I’ve been taking things slow, especially during the last few weeks. I removed a lot of pressure that I tend to feel in my everyday life and just decided to give myself a little more grace. I knew last month was going to be a difficult and emotional month for me and it … More Shutting out Chaos (Chasing Peace Pt 2)
I wasn’t feeling too inspired this week to come up with a topic to discuss, but I did come across an interesting journal prompt while web browsing. It said to list 10 frivolous things that bring you joy. I guess classifying what’s frivolous and what’s not is subjective. So I’m just going to share 10 … More 10 Small (Frivolous) Things that Brings Me Joy!
Today I was reflecting on life. I feel like the last 9 months I have just been trying to stay sane. I wish there were a pause button to life, but unfortunately there is not one. You just have to keep moving. In a recent post I mentioned how the things that once brought … More Chasing Peace Pt 1 (The Calming Effects of the Ocean)
This month I reached my limit of trying to find the WHY in every situation. I always felt like I needed to know why things happen the way they do. I needed to know the WHY so everything could make sense. I hate when things happen, and I don’t have an answer for it. … More No longer searching for the WHY! (I’m Choosing Mental Freedom!)
Recently I’ve been heavily into streaks and making sure that I do certain tasks every single day. If a day comes to an end and I haven’t done what I “suppose” to do I panic and try to hurry up and rush through it before the day ends. The whole process kind of reminds … More The downside of maintaining Streaks (Break it!)
Last Summer I told myself to start celebrating the small things in life, and for awhile I did. Every small accomplishment or small task completed I would write it down and celebrate it. To most people it probably wouldn’t be a big deal but focusing on those small accomplishments got me through the second half … More Celebrate EVERY Small Victory and Happy Moment!
Today I’ve been thinking a lot about my anxiety and how I often go into what I call “panic mode” when something unexpected happens. Lately I’ve been doing a lot better when it comes to my anxiety. It feels like I been on autopilot since the end of November last year. I kind of … More Say the Words: Everything is going to be okay!
Recently I read Declutter Your Mind: How to Stop Worrying, Relieve Anxiety, and Eliminate Negative Thinking. It was a good read. What surprised me the most, was the fact that most of things the book suggested I already do. Some things I’ve been doing since the summer of last year, and other things I’ve added … More Declutter Your Mind!
