Mind Over Matter

This has been my mantra the last few days. Or at least I have tried to make it that way. There a days that waking up at 4 am makes for an UBER grumpy R!LEY during the day. It’s almost as if every little errand or chore becomes a huge effort. What? I have to buy toilet paper?  The tub is looking grimy? The garbage needs to be taken out? Car is super dirty? Laundry?  Meh. It can wait until after my nap.

Well. I need to pep it up. Gotta get my “Hut-To-Hut-To” on.

I need to complain less.

I need cherish more.

I need to smile more.

Mind over matter. Mind Over Matter. Mind over matter. Mind over matter.

Say it with me….MIND OVER MATTER.

The other day I was recording something in the studio when I hit a road block. Its like writing block only with your mouth. Yea, mouth block in no fun when its your job to talk. My day was only half over and I felt so deflated. I  just wanted to curl into a ball and nap. This may sound cheesy, but I literally just repeated “Mind Over Matter” to myself and it  was just the self-pep talk that I needed.

Just as a side note, I LOVE my job and could not imagine doing anything else. It’s a part of who I am.  Even if it causes wrinkles and baggy eyelids. 🙂

Even though I have a lot more challenges ahead of me as I step into the next phase of my life and have a husband and hopefully a family of my own, I need to keep am open mind and just breath through it. (Yes people I know it gets worse after you have kids) Everyday that I get through minus the “I don’t wanna attitude” is like a trophy for me.

Mind Over Matter. Mind Over Matter. Mind Over Matter.
