I awake this morning as I have every morning for the past two and a half years…tired from a lack of sleep. I tossed and turned, watching the clock, wondering, hoping, praying, anticipating the future. This time, however, it’s with confidence and excitement…a peace that I haven’t felt in many years. I awoke excited that on this day, December 6, 2021, I embark on the next step of my journey. I am confident and secure in knowing that God will continue to sustain me. My lack of sleep this time was from excitement versus worry. My bank account is in the red, but my future is in the BLACK. For me, that is much more important because I know that the back account will take care of itself soon enough. My future, as of this moment is bright and I am not looking back.
You see, our mental health is tied to so many things…people, places, things. If we really take a long hard look in the mirror, it is tied to accepting who we really are and truly loving ourselves. If we love who we are, what others think of us doesn’t matter. We will be so busy perfecting US and securing our peace, that what others are doing brings us closer to achieving our goals or added peace.
Going into 2022 with the mindset of loss, depression, misery, loneliness, etc. will only have us felling the same way we do now. Wanting better for my son, he must see me doing better. Each day that we stay in our depressed state of mind is another day that we waste taking control of our lives and getting the full potential from our future. We must say goodbye to our old way of thinking and take control of our mental health. Say HELLO to a new you. Be in the BLACK Stepping into 2022!
