What October Taught Me.

That caring what other people think is a choice. I can’t explain what happened at the end of this month, but this just clicked for me. This is something I struggle with SO much, and as I was (overthinking) about it, something popped into my brain like, “you know that giving this so much attention is a choice you’re making, right?” So that’s how I’m trying to think about it from now on. Worrying about the opinions of other people is a choice, and it’s one I’m going to try not to choose.
There is no right or wrong timeline for processing your feelings. It takes you however long it takes you. The end.
I want to celebrate life more. October was so full of celebrations, as the next few months will be. It was a good reminder that there’s always so much I can (and absolutely should) celebrate.
That there are a lot of things you can change overnight. We’ve all heard that lasting change doesn’t happen overnight, and while that’s true, there are a lot of things that can be changed overnight. Examples: getting rid of clutter (yes, please), blocking a phone number (you know the one, it’s the one that just popped in your head when you read that), deciding to let go of things, material or emotional. Sometimes it can happen overnight.
That pumpkin spice season will always, always have my heart. It’s just the very happiest.

Worrying about what other people think & worrying in general is a choice. I struggle with that, but it’s true. When I put time and energy into finding a solution for something that’s not a problem yet I’m wasting my time and doing more damage than good. Totally working on that daily. Lol
October taught me how to be more patient and live in the moment. It is also currently still teaching me to have a “one day at a time” mentality. No use worrying about tomorrow!
October is teaching me that it’s okay if people dislike me. This goes hand in hand with your not worrying about what people think…I’m trying to settle with the idea that as a grown woman, standing up for myself may rub older friends the wrong way…and that’s okay. Such a lesson. Beautiful blog as usual. Love how simple & poignant they are!
Overthinking is huge for me and something I actively have to work on daily. Someone can make a silly comment (sometimes deliberately and perhaps sometimes without thinking) but it can really grate on my nerves. I think before speaking so I do my best not to be blunt or unfeeling when I talk to people. It is one of those things that is not always reciprocated and I’m learning how to let go and stop caring. Takes practice of course. I have a few “happiness vampires” in my life that I need to distance myself from because if you cannot be happy for others then that is a red flag for me.
There is definitely always something to celebrate! I plan on doing a lot of it over the next few months!
Thank you for the reminder that some things CAN change overnight!!!!!!! I have a list of small things I’ve been putting off, but I need to just buckle down and get them done!
