Staying on Track

By Britt365 Wednesday, February 20, 2008

Gosh- it's so hard to stay on track sometimes, My mind is always going but I find if I stay busy but not too busy I feel better. I'm starting to write things down more- the things I don't want to forget and sometimes they end up to be the least important after all.

 

I worry a lot. So if I start to worry- I just tell myself- "Just let it go- it's ok" Like if I'm at home my Dog - Rollie might be getting into something- like the items we have yet to unpack-- then I say just let it go- he's not hurting anything. Then I always catch myself running rampid around the freak'n house. This is totally insane behavior and pointless-- so then i make a list of all the crap that's going on in my head/ write in my journal at night. Threw Yoga and stuff I'm starting to understand what's important and what's not. 

 

For example== for me to feel relaxed and calm- like I can conquer the world is more important than a spotless- laundry done- bed-made, dog hair free, dust free, House w/ a cleanly kept up kitchen. OMG why didn't I think of this before?? lol. So now- I clean at night before bed- then I feel like I can get to sleep and feel good about getting to bed. Instead of waste'n the entire day on the house's upkeep. Usual: dishwasher; kitchen........... Life and the way you treat yourself in life, is the most important thing in life. Running around- feeling like your loosing your mind- in non-sense. I am willing to be transformed into a person who can take life w/o taking everything so personally and seriously. To enjoy every aspect of my life, to love more, to live more, to take more risks, to learn to deal with difficult people better, to Live each day as if it were my last/ SO lets leave it there for now...........

and I promise to get back to you!!

I need some of what you've got.  I feel like i live my life snapping at people over dumb stuff because the whole house would fall apart if I didn't stay on top of everything every minute.

I want to stop being the bad guy.  I want my husband to take care of stuff instead of always saying "I hate dealing with that stuff."  Too bad, deal with it.  You're an adult and you're older than me.

Why is it I'm the only person who can take care of anything?  I need to let go and tell them that if they want food, they need to figure out how to make food every now and then.

Sorry Britt.  I vented on your post. My bad.  I'm happy for you and you're right.  I could learn from you.

Hey Hopeful Mom,

Please don't apologize for sharing your feelings/venting as you called it.... we all need to vent sometimes. Even I do lol. But sometimes it's hard to know who to vent to, like who is willing to listen/and in the end, care. I always look forward to hearing from you.... you always comment to my posts- thanks!!! I am praying for you!! 

Take care,

Brittnee
