Successfully Complete Q4 of 2021 with Less Stress

Successfully Complete Q4 of 2021 with Less Stress

 

How I am going to successfully complete Q4 of 2021 with less stress. I am joining up with Five Minute Friday for a linkup.  We are given a word prompt and spend five minutes writing until the timer goes off.

 

The word this week is Complete. 

My first thought was I am going to complete quarter 4 of 2021 with less stress. My blog name is Seeking Serenity and Harmony. Because it has been something I have spent a lot of time working towards.  I find myself spinning my wheels a lot of time and getting no where near where I had hoped to. This leads to discouragement, guilt and shame.

I am working on trying to focus on the positive such as what progress I do get done instead of beating myself up over what isn’t done. Otherwise I fall down that rabbit hole of a spiral into decreased self esteem and tipping into depression.

Fighting chronic major depression has been a long term battle of mine.  I have come a lot further now than I thought I would have back in the early 90’s when I was struggling at my worst. There IS hope. Please hold on for one more day, and one more after that. There IS hope for a life worth living.

 

Well I digress, Instead of talking about how I was going to successfully conquer q4 of year 2 of pandemic life I went off about mental health. I guess I have learned that my mindset plays a big part in how successful  I am. I am however still very much a work in progress.  God is not done with me, or you yet!

 

How am I going to find more Serenity and Harmony and Less Stress for the remainder of 2021?

My Calendar, Planner and Lists.

Start planning for Christmas now and not wait until the day after Thanksgiving

and the list goes on. I love lists. 😉

I am working on some mental health resources to share with my readers and am learning a lot that is helping me in the process.

Let me know in the comments what are YOU working on to finish out this year strong?
