🛟 As they float, your body remembers what your mind forgot—that peace is not a destination, but a position. Take you top off, let them float, and let your worries float away.

I’m no artist, but I drew this little guy because I came across some coloring pencils and wanted to create something. Thought I’d share, so enjoy!

Someone told me he looks very recognizable, so I wonder if I’ve conjured him up from somewhere subconsciously....? I love doing Tim Burton eyes and stripes, so I find myself copying his style. (Best to acknowledge it before some internet smart ass points it out. Not that I compare myself to him in any way, I just love his style!

Introvert Problem #3

Ordering drinks at a bar. 

It has been a very long time since I have been brave enough to approach this seemingly basic social task. Fortunately, being married means I have a permanent beverage purchaser and can safely avoid the anxiety inducing chore of ordering a drink at a bar.

I went to a brewery recently with a friend who is still quite new to me. She is a self-professed introvert, but a lot of people say that without really understanding what it means. 

Not wanting to seem like too much of a freak, I jokingly said, “Ugh, I hate ordering drinks at the bar. I know it’s silly - I mean, what can really go wrong?” I threw in a few “ha ha’s” for good measure. 

Her response backed her initial claim of being an INFJ, “Oh my god, SO MANY things could go wrong!” 

I breathed a sigh of relief and we spent the rest of the afternoon taking turns approaching the bar. 

If you are unfamiliar with this particular social anxiety, allow me to share with you all the things that can go wrong: 

1. I will trip on the way to the bar. Everyone watching me with laugh at me and assume I am a drunken idiot. 

2. I will have to stand shyly in the queue, too polite and shy to be assertive and approach an empty space at the bar. If I approach that empty space, I run the risk of being yelled at for pushing in the queue. Anyone within earshot will think I’m a jerk, even though I am not. 

3. Despite repeatedly rehearsing my drink order in my head, I will somehow stumble on the words when I’m ordering. The bartender will think I am either drunk or stupid when I am neither. 

4. I will hand over the wrong amount of money and I will have to find more in a panic. This is why I will always prefer to hand over a note that is well over what I would expect to pay. Better to leave with piles of change than be left looking like an idiot rifling through my handbag. 

5. The bartender will say something like, “I like your wallet” and I will reply with, “You too.” When I’m 80 years old, I will replay this conversation in my head as I lie in bed. 

6. Obviously, I could spill the drinks on the way back. 

In conclusion, find yourself a partner who is okay with doing all the drink orders. Then, make sure you time the consumption of your beverage to coincide with theirs, so they don’t have to make extra trips to the bar just for you. It’s just considerate.

Affirmations and Meditation For Releasing Anxiety

Affirmations and Meditation For Releasing Anxiety

Whenever I feel that inner restlessness,

that strive for something outside of me,

that urge, and seeking for something to distract me.

When I feel the need to engage in something of the external world,

just to distract me from feeling my inner world.

That is ANXIETY.

An unfulfilled restlessness inside of me,

that seems unable to be distracted.

When I’m feeling this…

The 5 Steps to Spiritual Surrender 1. Take your hands off the wheel. When you feel fear, that’s a sure sign you’re relying on your own strength instead of the strength of the Universe. The Universe is always ready to support you, but it won’t step in until you step aside. So surrender through meditation. 2. Appreciate what’s thriving. Instead of focusing on goals and the outcomes you want, redirect your focus on what you do have. Celebrate everything beautiful in your life. Tell the people close to you how much you love and appreciate it. Take time each day to devote your attention to what is already thriving in your life. 3. Recognize that obstacles are detours in the right direction. For me, what seemed to be an obstacle was actually a detour toward my greatest healing. I had healing work I had to do to become a mother, and through the steps of spiritual surrender I was able to uncover the dark shadows that needed to be brought to the light. Trust the detour. 4. Ask the Universe for a sign. I spent a year not trying to conceive and instead focusing on myself. But recently, when I began to put my attention back on my goal, I noticed my old need to control come back. So I practiced these steps and centered back into the Universe, surrendering through prayer and focusing on what was thriving. One afternoon I saw 5 wild turkeys outside my window. Later that evening, during my meditation, I received an intuitive message to look up the meaning of coming across turkeys. So I did my research and learned that they represent fertility! The Universe will give you signs and winks if you ask for them. Ask for a sign and pay attention to what you receive. Be in wonder of the guidance all around you! #manifestation #asktheuniverse #universe #balancedmind #psychologistinthemaking #anxietyrelease #release #control #happiness #happinessbrand
