Journal Prompt #4

 When do I feel the most confident?

This is my journal question for today.  After the week I have had it's hard for me to answer that question. I am behind on my posts, and I have no real excuse other than I haven't been feeling it. My anxiety has been running high this week because of all of the activity, and I don't mean good activity. It's been a roller coaster week, many emotions, a lot of venting and getting worked up about stuff. Moments of "no matter what I say or do nothing is right".  I've had a lot of moments where my chest has been tight and I have caught myself tensing up and not relaxing, I can't breathe very well, my head starts to feel loopy. I've been there before and I know what's happening, but I have to calm myself down. It's been a struggle!

One bonus thing this week is I have started walking the treadmill. Typically, I walk around my property, but with the weather changing and I don't like walking outside when it's cold or yucky, I am lucky enough to have a small workout area in my house. Since I am out of shape and walking a treadmill is different than walking outside, I started out with 20 minutes and am working my way up. I turn on a movie and it makes me not pay attention to the amount of time I am walking. I also have a pair of wireless headphones that I used the first day and listened to a favorite podcast. 

So, to answer my "question" for the day, I feel most confident when things are going well and I feel good about what is happening. It makes me feel like I have made the right choices and I have managed to keep things organized or keep things going even when I am super busy or feeling crummy. I feel like I have made everyone happy and there are no glitches. Even with small glitches, I'm still feeling accomplished.  I feel most confident when I have something done before schedule or before someone asks for it. 

My time is short this morning and I have plans.

When do you feel most confident?

Until next time.....

Journal Prompt #1

 How am I feeling today?  This is my first journal prompt question.  I attempted to answer this question earlier when I was at work.  Bad idea!  Work is probably not the place to try to add a blog post, especially when my feelings about where I work started to creep into my post and pretty soon all I was typing was Negative Nelly comments.   I am trying to figure out how to answer the question of how I feel today.  Honesty is the best medicine.  Physically I am tired and sort of sleepy. Physically I am disgusted with myself, with how I look. I've felt that way for quite a while. What can I do about it? A lot....but I struggle with being disciplined.  I know it takes a while to create a habit, and I will start and try but then it's easier for me to give in and I get lazy and basically tell myself it's ok to fall off the wagon because I can hop back on at any time. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.  But, if I don't, how am I goin...

Journal Prompt #3

 What do I wish I felt more of today? I'm not sure how to answer this today. I have had a very productive day today. We are having a family gathering here at our house tomorrow for the October birthdays and I have been cleaning and prepping. We finally got our pool ready for winter too. I also hopped on my treadmill for 25 minutes this afternoon and that felt good! It's been a while. I don't exercise very much these days and I can tell in how my body feels and how it responded to walking for 25 minutes.  I have to start somewhere right? I have been listening to 2 new podcasts and they are very motivating. They are women encouraging women but also sharing their thoughts and feelings when they are struggling.  This is refreshing to hear. Not that I want people to struggle but knowing that I'm not the only one having a rough day or feeling down or feeling overwhelmed, be willing to talk about it and vent it out and then move on. They don't have a perfect life and neith...

Journal Prompt #5

 What character traits do I admire the most in others? This is my journal question for today. This one doesn't take much thought because I can tell you right away what really grabs me. When someone is 100% themselves, when they are real. What I mean is, they don't put on a show in front of people to make themselves look like someone else. When they act the same around you alone as they do around 100 people.  Yeah, everyone has their days and at times they may not be themselves, and some people don't want to be social and be around people, but they are still them. Unfortunately, I am friends with people that put on a show in front of groups of people to make themselves appear to be they are loving, super friendly, family oriented and affectionate. These people are not really these people. I know the true behavior of these people and how they act behind the scenes.  How do people pull it off? I would eventually screw up and show my true colors. I'm not good at hiding thin...
