How does one get their self into a positive frame of mind? I am finding it harder and harder to stay positive about certain things.
It's like I take a few steps forward only to end up taking 5 steps back.
I guess I just need some encouragement.
When any of you are dealing with alot of pressure and stress for several months, what gives you your mojo back?
My kids and GOD.
December of 2005 was not a good month for me as you know. And though going into the surgery itself wasn't scary or nerve wrecking for me, the aftermath was. I was another person. I was stressed because of a sadistic nurse. I was stressed because I could not do for my family. I was stressed because I felt deformed. I knew in my mind that now I would stared at as something different. I mean, sure, I've always been butt ugly (I have to keep my humor) but now I was completely different. Once I started going into public, I could feel the stares. I could hear the whispers.
My kids gave me unconditional love through all this. The only thing that matter to them was when would daddy be able to get in the middle of the floor and play with them again. They accepted the differences and I came to the realization that I can only control so much. That which is out of my control, I could no longer fret over. I started living again.
And of course, it goes without saying, God doesn't much care about my looks. ;)
Step back from the stress in your life. Breath. Stress is what you let it be. If it is a burden, make it not so. Treat the stress like you have dip, kick it to the curb.
And always remember, we are here, even if it's just to listen to a rant.
