Checking In 5

Hi.

I’m struggling this week guys. I’m at a low point, which is frustrating. I’m not sure what touched it off, but it is here, and it is kicking my ass. I’ve been sleeping too much. I haven’t been very productive (I felt like I was moving mountains to get the article posted this week). I’ve noticed the doubt in myself creeping back up again. I’ve been fighting to not be too hard on myself or to give in too much to the negative self-talk, but it’s hard.

I keep trying to remind myself of all the wins I’ve had. I keep kicking negative spirals in the butt as soon as I notice it’s happening. And that’s all I can do. Keep on keeping on.

I’m writing when I can. I’m reading when I can. I’m trying to eat well and stay active. I’m giving myself pep talks.

And I’m waiting for the storm to pass. It always does, I just have to wait it out. Be the more stubborn one.

I have faith in that.
