I honestly couldn't think of anything to write so I looked up a few blog ideas to help get me going. I have a week off from school, before I start a new term, and I always feel so guilty when I see that people check my blog and I have nothing new for them to dive into. However, I found this blog idea and I thought it would be kind of nice to touch base on. I know that most of my posts are kind of disheartening, sometimes, that's how I see them at least. If I opened up my "poems" tab back up then you would really see just how hurt I am, even still, but this post is what motivates me. I took the idea to mean how I pick myself back up after being down for so long. Well, I give myself mini pep talks to start off. I look in the mirror or I just simply say to myself "You (I) can do." I repeat that over and over to myself and each time I say it with more feeling until I feel ready to take on the world. I learned in class how self-talk can help to improve your mood and I believe in that. You are your biggest supporter and also your biggest downfall. If I can pep myself, even just a smidge, I feel accomplished to get through the task at hand. I know only saying "you can do it" is not much of a talk but it does the trick for me. I've been saying it to myself for years and I feel like it covers all my bases. I am saying to myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to and to let my fears and anxiety go and to just go through with it. Those four words push me to want to do better for ME... Alcohol also helps! Not that I am an alcoholic or anything (who knows?) but liquid courage sometimes can work wonders when you need that little push. I motivate myself and sometimes I might even ask for some reassurance from others just to build that confidence and keep going. On my "off" day, I am my own cheerleader with her own marching band, and no one can stop me. I can do it.
