Hustlin' Through Airy Anxiety

Do you ever feel so charged with all these ideas of ways to grow and 'better' yourself, but you just can't do it all right now or even accomplish one of those pursuits as fast as you'd like to?

And it just drives you NUTS?

Like being patient and trusting in the power behind your baby steps seems impossible, because you feel like you're about to jump right out of your skin if you don't receive some kind of reward or game-changer right this minute?

This is definitely how I see myself lately . . . but fortunately I also have an earthy side to me and great friends who remind me to take things slowly, carefully, lovingly . . . and build my life up with quality, not quantity.

Groundedness is so crucial. So are great friends.

I struggle at times to live for today and stay focused. I must remember that today is a gift. And the future is a sexy mystery that we ultimately have little-to-no control over. We just do our best!

On that note, when I derail too much my anxiety around time returns to my headspace! I trip out on how I'm getting older and I compare myself to others my age who have so much material and intellectual success already . . . so I'd better hustle and match them! . . . but we all know how stupid that ideology is.

Nobody has the same story, obstacles, privileges, ideas, desires, intentions, etc. And material/intellectual success doesn't equate to superiority. So why trip?

Sure, it's so sensible to strive for security, freedom, knowledge and self-contentedness. And yup, money!

Of course. Absolutely.

But it's easy to get caught up in media and old societal BS that tells us that these people are better than those people. Where do we fit in?

Nobody's better than anybody else. I know I've said that before on this blog, but I repeat myself because I want everyone to know it, and I want to remind myself every single day. It's so important and easy to lose sight of. For myself and many others.

So now that I got that out of my system, I'm going to go write more. Or prepare for a meeting that I have tomorrow morning. Or check out some content marketing resources. Or bang my head against the wall until I pass out. Blessings.
