June 2nd, 2019: Journal Entry (from my Instagram)

Clip from my 20 minute yoga session 💗

Over the years I’ve come to learn that every single hour, day, week, month, and phase of your life consists of ups and downs. To put it simply, every single moment differs from the next and these moments strewn together form phases or “seasons” of your life.


Elliot Hulse posted a video a couple years ago (@elliot_hulse) talking about dealing with depression and used this exact season analogy and helped me through some very tough times.


EVERY SINGLE thing in the universe operates in a cyclical fashion in the same way winter turns into spring and consequently begins summer, the end of the night begins a brand new day. This has been and will continue to remain true from now until the end of time.


Moods are no different. When you’re going through a “downer” phase ie: depression, you’re only able to see the negative portions of every moment. It’s almost impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel; consequently, you don’t recognize it for what it is - a season. This phase of your life is destined to change and transform into something else.


this relates to me in this exact moment because last night I had overwhelming anxiety, and on top of that I couldn’t fall asleep until 5am and called in sick for work. I’ve been beating myself up nonstop for my poor sleeping habits this past year & I also feel awful whenever I call in. I got into a negative mindset loop and my brain was telling me: this is just the way it is, this “downer” mood will never end, nothing will get better.


This post is for anyone struggling with accepting the truth that seasons are destined to change & that NOTHING lasts forever. Things are always changing from moment to moment and this phase shall too transform into something better.


On another note, the video of this yoga routine is up on Youtube!
