I don’t know what’s got into me today but I am speaking my truth, left, right and centre today and it feels so good to be free of things that have been causing me anxiety and stress for a while now.
Today I said everything that’s been holding me back and I said it calmly, clearly and if I’m honest, with concern and understanding.
I hear myself just now and sound like I’m trying to be some big zen guru that I am absolutely not… 🥴😆
The terrified, crying version of Julie was nowhere to be seen today. Just the calm, in control with a zest for life version.
It feels so good to have confidence and say what you really mean rather than bottling it up and letting it boil over inside.
It makes everything better. It gives you more understanding of the situation, more empathy, everything is clearer. I feel about 5 stone lighter. (I should add here I am not 5 stone lighter or anywhere close to it but that’s another matter!!)
I slept really well.
All of my joint pain is away apart from my index finger.😆
I’ve had a really good day.
I feel very level headed and in control of my emotions, which is a welcome change from the bad days I’ve had in January.
I feel at peace.
There’s nothing else for it after a good day but to get the comfies on and put my feet up.
The sky was lovely tonight.
The stars are out in force again too. Always look up!
I have some actual plans this weekend. I’m getting out and about tomorrow for the first time since we got back from Iceland in early December.
I’ve really enjoyed a relaxing January but I’m looking forward to a wee train trip.
Right now this is my home for the evening, surrounding by puppers.
Check the camouflage Khaleesi on the couch!!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Love your sky today and your zen attitude! Enjoy your train trip Xx

You would have been so proud of me today. I been very stressed with things at work and I said everything out loud. All the things that have driven me nuts for the last year finally came out of my mouth in a very cohesive manner. I still can’t believe it!! Off to see my auntie tmro. Xx

👏well done X You would be proud of me too. Since I reduced my hours at work a little at the beginning of this year I’ve been tempted to work extra a couple of times to cover for others, but I’ve restrained myself!! I volunteered to work half a day for missing a day for my Mum’s funeral, but that was my choice. When my boss asked me to work another half day on a scheduled day off I said “No, I don’t want to..” It feels weird but empowering saying no after 20 years of yes!! Xx

It really is. When you say what you really mean rather than you think you should, it feels amazing. It’s hard to do but once you start it becomes very addictive!! Well done you. Xx
