I woke up depressed and stressed\u2026.<\/p>\n
I woke up and felt a cascade of negative thoughts.\u00a0 There was a song going over and over in my head. I felt doubts about my latest book deal.\u00a0 When I poured milk on my cereal, my brain started counting the way the milk came out of the container. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve talked to other people who have the counting thing as well. I only get it when I\u2019m stressed or psychotic! And it always ends with eight!<\/p>\n
Then there are the thoughts that I will be lonely all weekend and that the article that is due tomorrow won\u2019t get done.<\/p>\n
ALL LIES.<\/p>\n
I just want to get on with my day and I will. I have now heard all of the bad stuff my brain has to offer- for the rest of the day I will replace it with the good stuff I have to offer my brain. I will get my article done on time. I have plenty of things to do this weekend and I can create more if I want to. There is nothing wrong and life is just fine.\u00a0 That is all true.<\/p>\n
