Fall Feelings

It’s been a minute since I’ve made a post so - hello (work has been crazy busy with the World Series, but now that it’s come to a close I have some more time to write)!

The beginning of fall, like the beginning of any new season in life, has brought in a whirlwind of emotions for me (literally, who’s surprised). I’ve tried to take note of consistencies - what makes me happy, what makes me anxious, how I act and feel when these emotions come up.

I’ve noticed that something I’ve been anxious about recently is my own worth. For some reason, I’ve been fixated on how much I measure up to others - which is a really toxic mentality to have, especially with yourself. I started to feel like just another number or face with strengths and weaknesses. And yes, while that’s true in essence, there’s no point in looking at yourself that way. Everyone has on and off days. There’s no one out there that can feel 100% all the time. Why are you talking down to yourself?

If you’re like me, sometimes it’s hard to take this advice. As weird as it sounds, sometimes it’s hard to not think poorly of yourself and to be your own biggest cheerleader. Going to war with your brain every day can be exhausting (especially for us anxiety folk). So if that’s the case for you, let me go to war for you today - because you could use another positive voice in your head….or on your screen whatever this is considered lol…

You are not just another face. You are not just another body. You have talent. You have unique abilities. Changing seasons in life doesn’t mean you are losing grip on everything you once knew (this one’s hard to grasp, but just trust me on this one). People love you and care about you. You matter.

And if none of this works for you: you are enough because I damn said so 😌🧡
