March 28, 2019 1:10 pmThe biggest struggle for me is always balance. Trying to say no when I need too (without feeling guilty) so that I can get my running hours up and trying to make myself believe that you’re not sick of hearing about this yet. Sooo … are you sick of hearing about this yet? Thoughts, thoughts so many thoughts …
I have an amazing life. By most accounts, I’m living large. So why the voice wonders … So how it asks, could you ever struggle with self-esteem or self-worth?
After 30 years of morning radio, I still get a rush everytime I crack the mic … but … I can’t hear an aircheck without cringing and wondering why anyone would listen to that. I love meeting people in my capacity as a storyteller at Cowbell … telling stories making them laugh … but … I often beat myself up later if I think I could have done something better. I love to sing … can’t listen to myself. When I write a song or a blog (yes, even this) I write and write and write some more … then I post and then I edit …and then I edit again. Nothing ever feels quite done.
And I’ll say again, this is my personal journey and what helps me. I’m not suggesting that what works for me, will work for you however … Does any of that sound familiar to you?
Maybe it’s hard for you to see through the clouds of depression, anxiety, hurt or self loathing but I promise you that somewhere and probably right there in front of you, there are some amazing people who absolutely and unconditionally love you. You must be amazing too!!
I know it’s a LOT more than that. Mental health struggles are complex and varied but I want to encourage you and let you know there are people who genuinely care. There are some links below to some great organizations and they are experts at helping to clear away clouds.
