Good morning , Monday Funday ! Are YOU a overthinker? This one's for you ❤️

Ahhh, Mondays ....

You know what they say... "Another Glorious morning. It Makes me sick! "--( 👇 lol) hocus pocus

(Lol xox tis the season , ammiright)

Been doing some reading , as usual, on the #HeadwayApp . The theme of the morning seems to be one of my biggest issues :

Overthinking.

Yeah...

We've all been there . It's normal. We are only human after all.

Man oh man am I ready to kick worry and fear out! If you are too,keep reading for the rest of the summary "how to stop worrying and start living"

Yes! Take it day by day.

275 million people suffer from Anxiety. You are not alone 😭🙏❤️ #anxietywarrior

Worry manifests in physical form indeed . It can severely harm your health. I've watched anxiety and CPTSD eat away at my dad for 30 years physically ... (He Also is a hypochondriac--- always thinks he's dying from something) ... When we allow our mind to wander, it really takes us to hell and back at times... And Sometimes you don't come back..... 😞

Gotta stay busy . Yes, the thing is, I've spent way to much of my young life already staying to busy... I now need to work through shit to get better... But at the same time not allow intrusive thoughts and worries to fill my mind . How do you do this? Let me know in the comments #cptsdsupport

A huge thing we do need is actual good sleep. I for one have insomnia .. sleep isn't something I do. Here we have some tips on what to do if you can't sleep (see images) . It's important to focus on relaxing rather then sleeping , because laying there overthinking about how we are not sleeping , but need to be , only has us up , staying awake longer lol.

Prayer always helps me . My grandma instilled faith into me at a very young age . I thank God for her and for this life every day . No matter what life throws my way, staying grateful has saved me in every thing I do . The love of Jesus gets me through.

Take notice of your thoughts as you lie in bed falling asleep . If they are wandering and racing , try to do some deep breathing . I personally like to do belly breathing, and also listen to hz sound waves which really put us into deep sleep mode (I'll share my favorite meditation YouTube links in another entry, great for insomnia and racing thoughts , because it gives our mind something else to center on . )

found some great tips in here... Wanted to point a few out. This boredom one , is really hitting the nail on the head so to speak.

Do you notice that when you are bored, your mind starts to wander? I do .

This one here was a good reminder also to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off , and keep going. One of my major faults as well , is I expect my family to care about me and my feelings . I mean , what the heck are family for if not to be there for each other ?!?! Wtf!

Look,believe me, I get that everyone has problems (it's literally how I was molded to think, my problems don't mean shit compared to the other problems of the world) .

But at the same time hellooooo, the reason for that is because everyone tries to just bury them and not solve shit!!!!!. (What a life. Passing the hurt and pain down to the next generations due to selfishness .. sorry , here I go again, venting and letting myself get upset about how people choose to act . Moving on .)

Everyone says how good I was, as a kid ... how I always stayed out of trouble and didn't talk back etc... Noone thought to think that sometimes the child who stays out of everyone's way , does so for a reason.

The truth is , it's up to me and me alone to pull myself out and heal , as I always have . Noone else can . What they could have done was be good human beings and helped another soul who was and is in need , asking her family to be there for her once in her life.

but ...if we as individuals put our health happiness and healing in the hands of others , we would go extinct real fast, in a couple generations, as a human race .

This hit home for me because of a bad situation that happened a few weeks ago. It was my confirmation today . see .. I tried to improve the situation in all ways , but Noone will talk to me , literally. So , I have to accept that they won't let me fix the situation, and that the people who could help it refuse too... So I need to realize I'm doing my very best , and stop wishing they would grow up because apparently they are stuck in preschool mode (even elementary schoolers know the basics -- you hurt someone , you apologize but it's to much around these parts to ask .)

As you can see , I am a HUGE OVERTHINKER. I need to learn how to harness my thoughts . My dad was the highest OVERTHINKER and "what if"er that ever existed , so I don't do it too much like he did ... He was / is a perpetual victim of life. I'm hardwired to not be like that due to major trauma from him . But I do overthink a lot in a different way ..

Free yourself !! 🌟🌟🥰🥰🌟🌟❤️❤️💯💯💯💯

The try these on the book summaries always are good. The being grateful counting blessings is already my rule to life. I do love the do one good deed each day , and will start this .

There's a lot more to this book summary, you can find it on Headway !

Hope you folks have a great day , wherever your tuning in from .

Aloooha
