⚠️ 61 minutes
Sometimes it creeps up on you, like a shadow in the night. Sometimes it’s a sudden and powerful storm. This time it was a storm.
61 minutes it took to get out for my morning workout/run. For the past 1000+ days it has been 0 minutes. Why?
The last few days has reminded me that the mental war is never truly won. It’s been several years since I’ve felt like this.
Those who have attended any of the sessions know why I started, many years ago I was a dark place in my mind, and these techniques saved my life.
Over the past few days I’ve danced with my daughter, had uplifting conversations, delivered wellness sessions and been to work, as I always do.
And I’m almost certain not one person had any idea what was going on behind my eyes, I appeared the same as I always am, scary right? That’s 1 in 4 people.
I made a decision a long time ago to always speak kindly; to myself, to others, and about others when they are not in the room.
It matters, and I can’t describe how much.
That’s why the Robin Williams quote means so much to me.
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”
I got out in the end, I knew it would help. I woke up a 3/10 and now I’m a 5/10, that’s good enough for today.
These past days have served as a pertinent reminder of exactly why I wanted to support people with all of this in the first place.
Always here, whenever needed. Addy.
