“You can cross that bridge when you come to it.”

I’m a planner and I like to organize. I like to get things done early. I tend to try to know all that I will need to know or do for the future when it seems important. But it can get overwhelming and sometimes ya just have to say forget it I’ll deal with that when the time comes along. For now I’ll just do today.

Sometimes we just have to take a break from the world and recharge. Nothing to feel bad about. Everyone's batteries wear out sometimes.

sometimes we procrastinate over stuff not because we’re lazy but because we fear failure…totally agree sometimes it’s ok to just write the day off the trick is to get up fresh eyes and try again…hope toady is ok ⭐️

"You can cross that bridge when you come to it."

In general, this is too hard for me.

I am a constant worrier.

.

I remember when I was a little kid, I was wrestling with my dad, and one day he got annoyed and said, "You don't know how to relax". (in a stern voice)

That childhood moment has stuck with me to this day, and it was the first time in my life that I realized that I was "different". (and even as a kid something in my head was basically trying to tell me to take notice of that)

I'm the same way. I will worry if I'm not worried about what's going to happen, lol. It's like I'll feel like something is wrong with me if I'm not playing everything out in my mind. Benzos helped w that, but my doctor took me off, so I'm trying to learn how to live without them. I try to occupy my thoughts, forcing myself to watch television shows that require me to follow along, or talk to my mom, etc just so I'm not trying to worry about everything. The problem is, eventually i have to be alone w my thoughts when i need to lay down for sleep (I'm never sleepy enough to immediately fall asleep, i have to lay down & listen to ASMR before i can sleep, but often that's when all the worrying I've suppressed comes back, so I've got to figure out a different way, i think).

I get it.

I do take benzos for sleep, and I know what it's like to have a quiet but worried mind. (it's not fun)

I'm like that too, and sometimes you have to prioritize.

I think it's about surrendering what we can't control and being aware of what we can control, which is really only how we react to things in the moment and learning to be ok with it and knowing that we can deal with whatever happens, good or bad. We may not like whats under or on the other side of the bridge but trust that we can deal with it.

So true.

I like expression life is what happens, when you are making other plans 😊. Sometimes have to redirect and go.. It's not easy.

I was dating someone for 6 months talked, about being engaged.. His 💡 idea. Whole life planned.. I was in my 20s. Right thing wrong person.. Had to redirect my life... Fast forward many years everything is great in life then I got really sick couldn't work.. Never know what will happen. It's good to have a plan in life😁.. Not easy to be flexible.
