“Where did Katie (that’s me!) go?!?!?” I’m probably actually the only person who’s really asked this question, but as far as blogging goes, where did I go? I can’t believe it has been over 2 months since I’ve posted. I’ve thought about it so many times and I really was committed to it when I started, but it always got pushed to “tomorrow,” which unfortunately is a common theme for me. I always seem to have a lot of goals, but not a lot of follow through. I have a terrible habit of setting unrealistic expectations for myself and then get overwhelmed and quickly fall back into unhealthy ways. But regardless, there were two reasons I started this blog – both of which are still very much true.
My therapists’ favorite sayings is “what you pay attention to will grow.” A friend of mine says she pictures it as watering her garden. Her thoughts are like plants and what she waters will grow and multiply – and in some instances, take over. In other words, if you focus on negativity then the positive will seem out of reach and the suffering will continue. But, if you can get yourself (sometimes forcefully) to focus on the positive, it hopefully can become a habit that will increase your happiness.
I have a long list of topics I want to blog about and hopefully I can get some of my readers and followers back… but if not then that is OK too. As the seasons change and the weather becomes cooler, I’ve had HUGE transitions and changes in my life in the last month and I let it get the best of me. So, here is to new commitments…
XO, Katie
