Jump in the Water's Great!


“Sometimes you need to jump into the deep end of the ocean. Or stand on the beach wishing you had.” -Carrie Oleson

I tend to be an overthinker. I can go over conversations in my head that I had years ago. So that I could say things the way I wanted to, and the conversation would come out in my favor. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking of all the things I regret and should have done differently. In my more pessimistic moods  I would think, “ I’m too old to change. I’m set in my ways.”

But there was something about turning 40 that freed me. It was like a switch went off in my head and I thought, “ You know what I don’t give a f**k.” I stopped caring as much about what people thought of me and started doing what made me happy. I started taking my health more seriously because I wanted to be an old lady who kicked ass. I still had 40 more years to live and I wanted to do it on my terms. And I was not going to let anyone’s negativity get in my way.

I started hanging with someone in there 20’s because they still knew how to have fun(I highly recommend this if you feel in a rut and want to try something new.) I started facing my big fears. I have always been terrified of heights. So I went out and jumped out of a plane(Also highly recommend because it was a very peaceful experience floating down through the clouds). Basically I decided to stop being afraid and take risks. In the end the biggest lesson I learned was every time I face a fear it turns out way better than I expected.

Venting vs. Complaining

Image
“Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once” -Green Day I actually think Venting is healthy. It is a great way to let out all your frustration and anger. It is like releasing the pressure valve inside of you. The problem is when you vent about something repeatedly. It turns into something unhealthy. Without realizing it something that ruined your day starts to ruin your week. You go from venting to your partner to venting to your friends then coworkers. Soon Bob down the street is not making eye contact because all he wanted to do is say hi. When venting turns into complaining. It can be very addictive. When you complain you get people’s undivided attention and they commiserate with you offering sympathy. The problem is when all you do is complain people’s sympathy turns to annoyance. They will start to offer you solutions to your problem. But you are not looking for solutions your looking for sympathy. I challenge you today to go one day withou...
