Wow! Yes! I am going to start writing in a success journal. I KNOW I am doing g SO much more than I was doing a year ago. I try to remind myself but having it in black and white will be a great reminder. I am currently working on getting the nerve to go back to work. It has been almost two years. I get brave and excited and I search the job apps and then it starts, all the symptoms flood in and I say oh no… working will be too hard they’ll think I’m a flake cause I’m gonna have hard days and freak out and call off sick…. But… what if I don’t and I work and I’m happy and fulfilled again?? Anxiety deserves the bird! Big Time!
Love this Drew! Like everyone else I’ve been through hell and back. My MR will tell me when I ask yes Renay you are going to feel better, you are feeling better. Bless his heart for being there for me encouraging while he’s winning against cancer! I have made some major profound discoveries while journaling, praying and just spending time talking to God. I do look back and remind myself when the struggle feels real that I have overcome in the past and I will again! Love you Big Guy!
Wow, what perfect timing with this one! I was literally laughing through the tears at the end of it. Thank you for this, I can't speak for everyone but I am sure that this resonated with so many of us, I know it did for me in a big way. Such a great reminder. Thanks, Drew. Now excuse me while I go give my anxiety the bird!
This is so true. Its hard in the moment to remember your victories. I’ve worked so hard on myself and have expanded my “comfort zone” but still trying to get into NYC from Long Island seems impossible and same goes for out east. I wont give up.
Fellow Long Islander here and I can relate. I worked in the city for years. I was always there. Loved it. But there was a time when going into the city may as well been a trip to Mars. It felt impossible. But as it turns out ... it wasn’t. Keep going. You’ll get there too.
