I noticed that I tend to think something along the lines of

Everything will be okay. And even if it's not, that's okay too. You'll get though this my love

The love bit was something I've been trying intentionally to instill. I've heard that positive self-talk can improve well being.

What do you think or say to yourself during those harder times?

I know a lot of you don’t like hearing from the bible, but one line always comes to me: “This is the day that the Lord has made”.

I don’t know exactly what this means, but it gives me a sort of FOMO that gets me moving. Like, this day is some seriously interesting and deep shit if I want to get into it.

Sort of like if a friend offers me some wine to taste and Im like “nah I don’t feel like tasting wine right now” and he’s like “This is one of three bottles made by the master vintner Jacque Le’Somnamelier and it’s $50k a bottle and won awards in fifteen countries in blind taste tests”.

It’s like “doesn’t matter if you aren’t in the mood; you don’t want to miss this”.

“doesn’t matter if you aren’t in the mood; you don’t want to miss this” until you realize that all wine sucks ass
