The Highs and The Lows

I have been remiss. It has been too long between posts, I believe I have committed the cardinal sin of blogging (how unlike me to get so distracted!)

I would like to say I have been consumed by a wave of creativity which has seen me achieving great creative “things” or that my exercise regime had completely taken over my life leaving only time for resting (looking after a husband and three kids!?) and small high protein meals or perhaps that I had transcended all technological pursuits having suddenly (and quite surprisingly) reached the much sought after State of Enlightenment.

 

Alas, nothing quite so inspiring or unbelievable.  Days have turned to weeks, weeks to months, winter to spring and somewhere along the way I found myself wandering, quite unexpectedly, through The Tunnel of Doom. It started with a very sad story and some dark thoughts which called earnestly to more dark thoughts (as they do) and before I could say, “I’M HEALTHY I’M HAPPY, I’M LUCKY I’M WEALTHY!!!” (20 X) I was feeling a bit..well, miserable.

Now, I am not referring to soul crushing, Sylvia Platt like depression here (another thing entirely) but rather the ebb to the flow, the low to the high. You know the one. (Unless you are one of those annoying slightly deranged happy 100% of the time people – sorry but I find this to be a completely unnatural human state!)

 

 

 I spent years glibly telling anyone with the slightest interest in my mental condition that it was my biorhythms. I still have absolutely no idea what that means. It sounded vaguely like it had something to do with the moon and the tides and was therefore conveniently out of my control. It probably had more to do with erratic serotonin levels and marijuana deprivation. Then I had kids and with them came a whole plethora of new excuses for my dark days.

But should we need excuses, there is this pressure to be happy all the time and yes I believe strongly we should be grateful, thankful and seek out the positive but I now realise it is OK to go with the flow, acknowledge the downer, accept it get on with it. Realise it won’t last, for if we know only one thing we know things change. Soon enough, you will feel the light on your face again and pop out the other side. So I think we should give each other a break, have patience, give more hugs, really listen and judge less.

 

This Would Be Wellness Guru now has her mojo back, good things are happening all around me and I am truly amazed and inspired to be seeing the laws of the Universe in ACTION, I look forward to sharing more of this with you…  SOON.

Till next time
