The Mental Man

Some mornings I wake up faced with all the fears of what could and might happened. I think through all the ways I can fail and mess things up. When this happens, I meditate, breathe, say some affirmations, make a gratefulness list, pray and journal. But also the anxiety is still there. The fear is still loud and the depression is still heavy. When this happens I have the choice to still take on the world scared. Maybe our progress in our mental health is not about if we still feel the negative sensations, or if we still feel the fear but about our ability to let the feelings and thoughts come and go while still kicking ass! Listen to me, don’t feel bad that you cant get rid of the feelings, but be encouraged because you can still do whatever it is you want to do scared. I believe in you all today. Do it scared.
