GRATITUDE for all the SMALL CHANGES - HAPPY MONDAY STEEMIT!
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm,
but to add color to my sunset sky.- Rabindranath Tagore
GRATITUDE for all the SMALL CHANGES
......
I had a conversation with my dad the other day, when he asked me "How I am doing" now that I have pretty much eradicated any and all levels of stress from my life... and I answered to tell him that I am exceptionally happy, but I am still waking up some mornings with very high levels of anxiety and the occasional panic attack - which is obviously not really enjoyable.
I am glad I had this conversation with him, because having once been in a very similar life situation when he was about my age, and then having retired about a year ago - he explained that it took him almost a year to rid himself of that almost "programmed stress reaction". Then he laughed and said "now I don't know what day it is when I wake up!"
It has been almost two months since I closed my business and decided to write full time and this morning was actually the very first day that I have woken up not feeling like a tightly wound spring! lol! It was a great feeling. The realisation that I no longer have a million and one things to stress about, is FINALLY sinking in!
YAY!!
And its a Monday morning, so a wonderful way to start the week!
So, on that wonderfully positive note,
I thought I would wish you all an
AMAZING MONDAY
and week ahead!
Just remember that no matter what your current situation...
it is ALWAYS within your power to change it!
Even if the change happens slowly...
baby steps are better than no steps at all!
HAPPY MONDAY STEEMIT - MWAH!!!!!!!!!!
......
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

What a beautiful Monday morning post! I love your positivity. I think I sometimes suffer from just habitual stress reactions and you've made me really think about it... I need to remember to try and focus on the reality instead of expecting the stress.
Great post as always, thanks for sharing!

Yaaaaay!
You are doing a wonderful job - keep sharing the positive vibes and love, the world needs so much more of it.
It sure does! Thank you @lovelivinglife xxx
Yip getting rid of that stressed out and deliberating anxiety takes time. The way I see it if it took so many years to get to that point surely it will take some time for our bodies and minds to get back to peace. So happy to hear your Monday has started off so wonderfully.
Well said @jusipassetti! And thank you! Hope you have a super day too x
No matter what we are going through carrying a positive spirit.
Wishing u a wonderful week @jaynie
And you too @korexe - thank you! :)
