Lovelies, I need to go clear my head. I mentioned yesterday that I'm going through a very emotional time right now, and I think, no well, I know, it's because I have way too much going on in my head and heart, and that stuff needs to be de-cluttered.
I'm learning to not fight these funky periods anymore because I get that they are just part of my personal emotional wellness process. The key is to keep them focused and under a time limit. This way I can both give myself the space to do what I gotta do, and feel what I gotta feel, and then put a limit on it because as much as boo-hooing and letting your pain express itself is very positive, you also can't let it go on for weeks, months, or years. That is not healthy.
Again, this is why I love being a blogger versus a journalist or writer for a magazine. I can have these funky periods and take a break when I need to. I also can write about it because it's appropriate to my blog topic. One reason you all come here is to see me go through my personal processes too, the messy middles. I always hope that others can learn and grow from what I share.
So, I'm taking the rest of the week off to enjoy the holidays and find some vent to clear my head. I will be posting some on The Everyday Blogger because I find that place is proving to be quite therapeutic. One thing I gotta think about too is Noshtopia. Still don't understand fully what my issue is there. Love it, yes. Mental block, why?
Those of you who watch Grey's Anatomy will get the vent reference. I just really love this scene more because you see this normally overly serious woman turn giddy and childlike. I want to remember what that innocence feels like. Also, at the :12 second mark, that look on Christina's face is me last week.
For those who don't watch Grey's, the clip above is a scene where Dr. Christina Yang is having one of the worst days, and her new love Dr. Owen Hunt (my latest imaginary husband :) takes her to some obscure place in the hospital to help her re-group. The vent is a metaphor, and a perfect one that describes where I'm at.
Thank you again to all of you for your patience and love, and you know I can't say it enough, you my readers are the best gift this blogger could have :-)
Happy Holidays!
xoxo,
Steph
