Sometimes when I’m lying in bed, I catch myself thinking .. ALOT..lol I’m sure most can relate 😊

I always say I don’t want to be fearful, I want to live to the fullest. Last night I started thinking about all the things I haven’t done, but want to.. about the places I haven’t seen yet, the people I need to spend more time with.. The love & beauty In this world im forever in search of… The longings of my heart. As I was thinking, I began to realize that I think so much at night because it is the only time I have to myself, to be completely alone.. I 💜 this time & definitely don’t have enough of it. I realize that I’m extremely hard on myself! I work hard, I make “to do” lists everyday, I want to be and accomplish sooo much,I want to help everyone, always try to make sure everyone is ok, along with making sure IM ok. I take on by far to much…I was feeling overwhelmed by emotions …

Eventually, though it took a while, I fell asleep with my thoughts……

But then something strange happened.. The sun came up, and my alarm went off, and I got to be here again.. And what I thought about—even before my coffee—was the life I lost the night before. I have a sense of clarity.. the little voice saying ” slow down and smell the flowers” what really matters is a big question. I wake with a huge desire to LOVE …To be all that I can be. To help whomever crosses my path. To pursue ALL my dreams,BUT above all to enjoy this short but wildly amazing journey of mine! I think my biggest mistake is not realizing I need to just breathe, & make sure I’m ok..I’m not saying throw away your “to do” list or don’t make time for others, but if you start feeling like You need to do everything in one day, start thinking from a low-level energy place, like everything is so dire and immediate and needs to be done in a limited amount of time. feel pressure in your chest and kind of want to just go back to sleep.. SLOW DOWN 😊

so, yea… you can accomplish all your dreams and still be present, making each day count!
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, YOUR ONLY PRIORITY IS TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION.
***Quite simply, to get yourself in a better, lighter mood. Do something that reminds you of how magical life is, and how lucky you are to be here. Something that makes you grateful, something that makes you appreciate yourself and your life. Something that gives you a little pep in your step. Something that makes you smile.😊

For me, getting outside is super important. Just going outside and taking a walk to the park, getting a tea, or a green juice ..interacting with good people – can make a huge difference.

Calling a friend and laughing about your craziness, and how crazy everyone else is too, is a great way to raise the vibe!

Listening to awesome music is another great way..

Hang out with someone you love!

Breathe. Meditate.

Move. Walk. Do a headstand. 😜

Help someone else!!! Seems like the last thing you want to do when you’re overwhelmed, but it’s really legit… If coming from a loving place & the person your helping appreciates you.

Think in terms of possibility rather than limitation. Overwhelm is a choice. To-do lists and many priorities are self made. Only you can let yourself off the hook. Start by raising your vibe and making the commitment to ENJOY life and let things flow, and see what you feel guided to do. It’s amazing.

And one day I’m going to love it all..💜

“At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets & when you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!” -Steve Maraboli
