Lately I've been feeling like a recipe for a breakdown, with the main ingredient being stress. Everyday is a challenge to remind myself to simply relax and realize that the weight of the world is not on my shoulders--telling myself that everything will be OK even if I can't hangout with that person, or don't have time to get that task done. This week I was reminded through flowers, friends, and fashion that life can be beautiful and simple if you want it to be.

How do you "stop and smell the roses" in your everyday life?

I've even feeling the same way. We seem to think we're superwoman sometimes. : ) you look beautiful as always!!
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate! Your post made me feel better! I missed a friend's birthday party tonight because I am still getting over being sick (it's been two weeks!!) and have a ton to do before my big trip next week. Felt completely guilty, but it was what I needed to do for me. When I get like this, I have to remind myself to do what I need to do for me. It's hard, but I need time to decompress and relax before the breakdown happens! This week was out of control crazy, so relaxing tonight was amazing :) I won't fully get over the guilt though...

I love this post. It so true that we can find ourselves in a downward spiral.

I think it's safe to say..."Mama said there'd be days like this..." haha Love that song! I can totally relate. My stress levels have been through the roof lately! Keep your head up and do take time to appreciate the little things. I think we all forget to do this sometimes.
