Lately I’ve been in a fog. So many life changes are happening all at once and sometimes I catch myself in negative thoughts. It happens and sometimes it can catch you off guard. Depression is a silent killer and that’s why I advocate so hard for mental health awareness especially within the black community.
The moment I find myself in negative self talk, I have to take a moment and stop. Instead, I ask myself,
What is my inner voice feeling/saying?
What am I working towards?
I sit for a while and search for the answers and continue to ask myself, what is holding me back? Is whatever is holding me back – true? With all the changes happening in my life right now of course it’s natural to feel uneasy and question myself. Everything that I am doing will affect my family. But even though I may have these uncertainty moments, I also realize that sometimes our mind can create illusions out of fear of change.
I’m constantly learning to shift my attention whenever I feel like I’m moving into a direction that jeopardizes my mental health. I have to allow my true-self to come forward and come even stronger at times.
One step at a time. One day at a time.
I’m truly honored for my village and those that support and uplift me.
So for those of you who are reading this, ask yourself; Are you ready for more? Are you ready to clear that fog of uncertainty that has been clouding your thoughts? Remember it’s ok to not be ok but also when you’re ready to move forward and you’re ready to start living again. You’ll feel a shift in your spirit and the universe and all that is (you can call it whatever you like) will support and uplift you. And without a doubt you’ll see all the magic happening around you.
Life is a journey.
