Overthinking, stressed... Often! Then we have lockdown!!!

I for one can be found guilty of excessively overthinking and stressing over the smallest of detail. Sometimes just the thought of something out of place, or being late sends me into meltdown in my head anyway. I truly worry about most things, sometimes this is good because I am passionate for my work, my family and the things that mean the most to me, caring, devoted and considerate to all I do. But when it turns into overdrive worrying, stressing where it wakes you up all hours of the night and you find it starts affecting your happiness then it’s time to grab a hold of things and retrain your prospective, anyone know how please do let me know… However, I am working on this through small things like a taking a short walk, mindfulness and keep communicating, never shut down on family, loved ones and friends as the key is to keep talking, especially when those worries and stresses are starting to seem difficult to manage or uncontrollably spiralling.

Of course the times we find ourselves in with the coronavirus pandemic upon us all is very unsettling and worrying, and even though we know we must follow our government’s advice to stay at home for our safety, our family’s safety and the NHS it is not easy, and of course this affects our emotions, our thoughts and can leave us struggling in many ways. Yet if you’re like me saying this soon leaves me feeling even worse by feeling guilty because of the awful things happening currently all around us and the poor people losing their lives, and my heart goes out to their families and I am truly offering my sincerest condolences. So I say this with a heavy heart, possibly when all gets seemingly to much being inside and our lives so restricted so heavily, that we take a moment to think of these people and think how fortunate we are to even have the moment of boredom, and to cherish the thought that we are at least safe, healthy and can look forward to the prospect of one day this will all be in the past, as many will not and do not have that to hold onto. 

It certainly is very troubling times for all of us at the moment, here I discuss a moment of low mood, flatness and severe overthinking…. Why not join me?

My very best wishes to you, stay safe and stay home… Love and cherish family!

Thank you for watching!
