😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc 😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question 🤔:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!

How I'm feeling today! .. Sometimes it's terrifyin How I'm feeling today!
..
Sometimes it's terrifying to make the jump, to push ourselves to leap when we are afraid of whether we will land, or fall. But fear is a paralytic and we can stay stuck in our 'comfort' zones. Because they are just that - comfortable!
..
Pain and fear can be a precursor for growth. We can learn so much about ourselves or go past our self imposed limits and for once be more than we think we can be. You'll never know unless you try! ..
Prove yourself wrong today. Try something new. Risk a little. Make some magic.

Many of us spend so much time looking down. Watching our steps, watching our phones. Not only bad for our postures, but also for our perspectives.

This is a precious picture to me. The lighting is This is a precious picture to me. The lighting is terrible. It's really not Instagram worthy. I'm positive my hair is not done, my face is bare and I'm possibly drooling/being drooled on by my toddler, but do you know why I love this photo so much?
..
Because I'm in it. ..
This is a rare shot taken by my husband and my heart swells at the thought he made sure to capture this moment, because for once I'm in front of the camera instead of behind it. ..
So many of us Mamas are the family historian, keeping track of all the moments of our kids lives in pictures and memories and so rarely are we actually seen in them.
..
I love that there's a record of me, tired and napping with my fussy child. It makes me feel seen. It makes me feel like I'm a part of the tapestry of our lives, not just the one trying to immortalize it for others to see.
..
So partners: take the photo. Take tons of photos. Candids. Ask them to pose. Low light, good light, no light. It doesn't matter. Make us visible.

Note the burnt toast, that I found sometime MUCH l Note the burnt toast, that I found sometime MUCH later after starting one task and forgetting entirely that I had started to make myself something to eat. Note the second set of slices, cooking once I realized I had abandoned my snack from 2 hours previous and was attempting to eat again.

This is the life of the easily distracted, the constantly multitasking, the mentally divided. Can you relate to that sort of day? Starting one task and then getting side tracked and forgetting entirely where you started?
.
Somedays I feel like I have 30 tabs open in my internet browser and my brain! 🧠
.
Human beings are awful at multitasking and yet we strive for that all the time.
.
Reminder to do one thing at a time and take care of your own needs. You'll probably burn less toast that way 🤦‍♀️🍞🔥 #mentalhealthmama #mentalhealth #easilydistracted #mindfulness #adhd #attentiondefecitdisorder #multitasking #multitaskingproblems
