How do I get through the day that I don’t want to do that day? Usually when I feel this way I can take it an hour at a time; break my day up in hour-long chunks. Sometimes I lay in bed the night before and think about how “I don’t want to do tomorrow”. Then it leads to “I don’t want to do this week…or this month”. This mentality isn’t helpful at all, especially at night when I need to be sleeping. It keeps me up at night. I’ll try to reach out to someone and talk it through. If it’s too late at night then I pray to my Higher Power to just help me fall asleep, remembering that it’s only an hour at a time.

It’s difficult to stay present if I’m thinking about how I can’t get through the next day. I heard someone say, “slow down, be observant”. I thought that was really cool! I can slow down by slowing my breathing or by looking around at my current surroundings. It’s quite helpful.

Everyone goes through times when they “don’t want to do tomorrow”. When they’d rather stay in bed all day and do nothing. It’s important to remember that sometimes all we need to do is show up to life. The rest will unfold as it’s meant to be.

Sending love and light, Kel.
