I made this lil picture quote this morning;
the quote has already been circulating the internet for quite a while.
I thought I would add my own picture of a sunset I caught back in the summer and
add the quote with coloured wording.
I wanted to post something that would be pretty, motivational and make everyone smile.
Hope it works.
The moment I caught this image I was contemplating my life, what I had come through, what I was going through (just been discharged with PE's) & what the future held.
As I've been doing recently...
I'm aware I want to be the silver lining for the IIH world, but
I am human too.
I struggle being able to process emotions thanks to IIH.
#FilterProblem.
I find it hard to vocalise.
Also, I don't like dragging others down.
Or seem moany!
When I am alone or trying to sleep this is when my thoughts run away.
*This I how I use the above quote as a daily benefit*
So the GET UP section:
With IIH and feeling low sometimes you just don't want to get out of bed, particularly if you haven't slept well.
If I wake at 5:30 with my Fiancé, I will now get up rather than go back to sleep.
Otherwise I will poss be in bed till a stupid time.
I will then get on with my goals/focus's for the day.
My partner first mentioned setting goals a while ago.
Have a focus.
As an IIH'er with brain fog days, I have my Fiancé or parents remind me what I am meant to be doing throughout the day.
Or put it on my phone (cause I'm always on my phone!)
The KICK ASS part:
Also I am finding the gym is helping a ton!
I am feeling good in myself already.
If not the gym then a walk is fab. Especially in this fresh weather we have recently.
My healthy boost to fitness has had a knock on effect on my eating too.
I wasn't eating much and at very irregular times.
Now, I am eating the correct stuff at regular intervals.
The one we should be doing anyways
BE KIND:
Others are going through tough times/situations too.
If they have a pop at you, they probably don't mean it. Try & be kind back, you may just make their day, they may even open up to you.
Smile at others; smiles are infectious.
Do one kind act, hold the door open for someone, help an elderly person with their shopping bags.
My one today will probs be sticking the kettle on multiple times for Mum while she baking!
The important bit
REPEAT:
Know that you are strong enough to do it all again.
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Believe in yourself, constantly and always.
Do it for yourself.
You aren't in competition with anyone.
Everyday is a new day.
Today you are older than yesterday, but are younger than tomorrow.
Plus all the other cliché's.
Just know that you can do it all again and things will improve and the silver lining is defo there... The fog will lift eventually and you will see it again.
