Fall out… Fall apart… Is it necessary?
How do we get over little things when we make a big deal outta them? I am going to share with you 3 no-nonsense ways to Not Make Things Feel So Major
What could you do when all of the minor stuff tends to feel major at the time it’s happening?
To see that curveball of change and not get on with what’s coming up ahead… is going to set us up for disappointment I was going to name this blog post title: But Did You Die? But, that’s been over-used and it’s not my original meme. If you’re new to my writing, I like to create my own memes, even if they’re a little shitty. We all slip and fall some days… We all have days that make sense… We experience kickass moments with the commitment(s) we’ve made… We create and solve problems throughout our entire life… Yeah, until we die – [Shit even when we die, there will be someone making decisions about our burial paraphernalia, etc..] So, how is reading this post: It’s nothing Major but We Make it a Major Thing going to help you? You might be thinking, “Sharon, you don’t know what I am going through?” No, I don’t know what you’re going through… Maybe you’re feeling worthless, unimportant, like a total fuckup, depression, suicidal thoughts, leaving a toxic relationship, finding yourself, possibly helping a family member who can’t get their own shit together and you’re getting tired of doing it; discovering that all your good and bad choices have consequences… and the list goes on Or maybe your life is greeting you with a smile and everything you’ve worked your ass off for is finally coming together [let’s add this hash-tag, shall we? #LIFEISGOOD] So, yeah, I don’t know what you’re going through – – however, I’ve been around long enough to see and experience all sorts of shit… good and bad support and betrayal growth and shrinkage success and failure unsure and sure as fuck Our entire lives we all seem to repeatedly learn this lesson over and over again. “It’s nothing Major but We Make it a Major Thing” Have you ever had a time when you missed an opportunity? How about, have you ever said the right thing to the wrong person? Or have you experienced having to walk away from relationships [personal and/or professional] because the people involved were not growing in a positive direction? Well, I am here to tell you that ‘we’ve all done it‘ and were pretty much all still here… Sometimes we have to step back and tell ourselves, “It’s nothing Major but We Make it a Major Thing” Death and wonderment are usually topics we avoid. I am not sure why? I mean death gives more meaning to life. Without it, everything would feel insignificant and purposeless. We think about the past and future. We imagine hypothetical shituations [no typo] – – like imagining different outcomes to events that haven’t happened. This causes anxiety and depression. I know this for sure – – because I’ve done this countless times. I wrote a blog post about this back in 2016 “I Experienced Death, Laughter, Wonderment” – – it’s still a great lesson to share and learn from. ‘I EXPERIENCED DEATH, LAUGHTER, WONDERMENT” Knowing we have to accept death as part of our lives helps us to embrace rejections, our own frailty, our changes, uncertainties, – it helps us to hug it out with our fuck-ups and move on to the next circumstance knowing: It’s nothing major but we make it a major thing What could you do when all of the minor stuff tends to feel major at the time it’s happening? 1.) Ask yourself, “Will this situation matter in 2 years?” 2.) Take some of your previous life lessons and see where they can be applied to repair your ‘despair’ when you believe you’re making a major thing outta something minor. 3.) Who says you have to fix everything? It’s that knee jerk reaction we tend to have… Take a deep breath and a step back. Figure out who, other than you, should really be handling the situation, and empower them to do so. If you did, sign up for new blog posts. I promise you will not get bombarded to buy anything.
