7 ways to centre yourself and refocus

On a few occasions, every now and again, when something is bothering me, I wake up in the early hours of the morning, 4 or 5 am feeling overwhelmed with certain situations going on in my life.

I wake up thinking of issues, which most of the time are out of my control, but these issues matter and upset me to the point that I cannot stop thinking about them.  

Little things left un resolved can escalate and then I hit rock bottom. I then struggle to keep my emotions in check. There are tears as an immediate flow on effect and at times gut wrenching sadness.

This happens from time to time as these negative thoughts take over and then become more of a problem when I don't sit with my thoughts and learn to go through the emotions as they ebb and flow.

How I get through my day when I am feeling overwhelmed -

1. Cry it out - Just let it go and cry all those emotions away

2. Have a shower and refresh. Tears flow better in the shower!

3. Get dressed and take the time to look your best. Put on that item that has been sitting in your closet which you are saving for a special occasion.

4. Do your hair and make up. Pop on some lippy and take a look at your gorgeous self. It may take a while to acknowledge yourself but when it happens you will feel 

better.

5. Think out loud and with each negative thought retrain your thinking and think positively. Think of what makes you happy and let the happiness take over.

6. Send nice words to those you cherish or those who have contributed to the way you are feeling. Disagreements are healthy, but if you are anything like me guilt hangs on tight and it takes awhile to let it go. Apologise as soon as you can. 

7. No matter how hard the obstacles are, break them down and keep moving to reach for that goal of where you want to be. Even if it is a step a day - take those steps to your very own success.

Remember tomorrow is a new day, always time to start fresh and on a happier note.

Have a wonderful day.

Shine Bright !!
