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?

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?
One day at a time, one step at a time.
I’m a work in progress as well. I guess we all are–despite our age, LOL.
