Not Sweating the small stuff

[*Belle*]

Ok im a sufferer of anxiety and depression and I often sweat the small stuff. This gets me in a real tizz and my own little world but lately I have been snapped out of it and have been wondering why I keep worrying about it all. One of my friends recently lost someone close to them and its really bought me back to reality. I find that each time I hear about losing someone it brings back my own loss of my dads passing and also my little angel I lost before successfully conceving my two girls. I have done some real soul searching since Friday and promised myself that none of this small stuff matters, like getting upset for tripping over toys on the floor, or hubby promising to do something then doesnt. hubby yelling at me for leaving something on his bookshelf and him yelling at me for 1 hour on the weekend, I spent the first 20mins calming him down and then he wore me down and I cried as he was so horrible and told him to get over it, we should be lucky for what we have.

So I hereby promise in my daily life instead of getting tied up in the small stuff that usually gets me upset, I will do my best for it not to bother me anymore and be thankful for my life, health, my beautiful girls, hubby, mum and brother and Jedd dog and my gorgeous friends who help and love me though thick and thin.

Who is with me!?

I'm with you. I recently also had a huge wake up call as well and realised that the little things just aren't worth worrying over.

as bad as it sounds...some of us need a good slap in the face to wake up and realise how good life really is.

I with you Mishca and well done you!

Its one of the best epiphanies of my life realising that I don't have to sweat the small stuff - makes life a much happier one IME. Have you read the book 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" , I just loved it.
