To be entirely transparent with you, I am emotionally drained.

Long story, but something unfortunate happened to a family member last week so I’ve been really trying to focus a lot of my energy on that person…& tonight, I cannot lie, I am tired. Pooped. Whipped. Not even like work, workout, didn’t sleep kind of tired. More like, drained.

Sort of feel like a Dementor from Harry Potter sucked my soul.

…or just a deflated balloon, at least.

I, like you, have everyday family/work/friend problems. It’s sometime to talk about & we’ll get there one day. We do, in fact, have many more nights & many most posts today.

Just not tonight because I’m pooped.

Worrying is a funny thing.

If you really think about it, it’s weird.

You know someone once told me:

“Worrying is like a rocking chair. It will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.”

& every time guys, EVERY TIME, I worry, I remind myself of this saying.

Yet I still rock in the chair?

Very odd. I feel like especially as women, we worry. We just do, you know? It’s almost like engrained in us.

You go around in circle, worrying. Half the stuff we’re worrying about never even happens. The other half is never as bad as we anticipate.

Ultimately though, after last week I’ve realized worrying has done nothing to control the family member’s situation. In fact, it’s sucked my energy & personality which doesn’t help them at all. I’d be more of a use just not worrying at all.

Oh, the THOUGHT of NOT worrying. Sounds kind of nice, no?

What I’ve realized is it takes way too much energy to over-worry. Really, I cannot tell you how much energy its occupied in my brain for the last week & half. BUT this week is a new week & I’m actively working on directing any worry towards something more positive. We all make the mistake of worry too much. Perhaps it just human nature.
