And sometimes when you're on, you're really fcking on.
Not to be all Garfield, but Mondays suck. They are hard. [Which, why the hell did he hate Mondays? He was a fcking cat who didn't have to go to work or do anything substantial.] I mean, its just the whole week is stretched out in front of me and its overwhelming. Last night I had a hard time falling asleep, I had all these ideas, and today I couldn't even make it more than 3 blocks away from the house. I got to the bus stop and just said "uh-uh". So I went to the grocery store for coffee, as a lesson in gifting to my future self and having hope (i.e. I used up all the coffee and tomorrow morning I would be very happy that my self today did this). Then I came home and I'm making a cake.
I've decided to declare today is National Fake It Til You Make It Day. And I will compile all the ridiculous and powerful fortune-style affirmations that I say to myself frequently, depending on what the current monologue I'm trying to battle. Um, one or two of them might only make sense to me.
- Just because something is hard or sad doesn't mean it's 'bad'.
- It's easier to get stuck in the negative and harder to remember and cultivate the positive, but it's worth it if you manage to conquer what's harder.
- Do what you need to make it in this world.
- I'm not crazy and you're not nice.
- It could be worse....but it could also be better. It is what it is.
- Hold on.
- I am capable of a better love than what has been shown to me.
- Crutches help you walk, man.
- "Coping" is much better than the alternative, which is NOT coping.
- Fig jam + goat cheese + rye bread = delicious.
Ok, the last one isn't an affirmation, it's my lunch. But it does make me happy and inspired to think about. And even better to eat.
