AliCat's Alley Way

[npixelz]

Well, work finished earlier than expected, so I've just been watching TheOdd1sOut and Jaiden Animations. ^^

AliCat - are you feeling like you have a little more control over your situation now? It may soyund trite, but when you get your self in an overwhelming situation, try to refocus on what you do have and what you can control and take advantage of what is available to you.

What is that expression: " It is better to have tried and failed than to live life wondering what would've happened if you had tried". And with that in mind, if at first you don't succeed, try , try again.

We are all rooting for you! Challenges are not easy - that is why they are called challenges, but I believe if you perservere you will make head way and often something else will come along that because you have those experiences will benefit you.

(Oh, a word of wisdom, I believe we have a thread for that too!).

npixelz: Oh i used to watch TheOdd1sOut!
I liked his Suobway videos

Lemon: Not really. I'm just feeling a but calmer about my situation. It's still in the back of my mind but it's not stressing me out as much.

[Gingerale]

Ali, I am so happy you did well on your track and field, it shows you have the power in you! Keep making positive steps and it will help you to succeed.

[NerdyAliCat]

Thanks Gingerale!

Was that a pun? Positive steps - running

[npixelz]

Yeah, they were quite funny. If you like him, you might like Jaiden. ^^

If it wasn't a pun, it should've been.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I like puns...especially when other people come up with them! Some people can be so clever!

*hug* Hang in there Alicat. Hope you're doing well.

I had been trying to do too much myself and I'm trying to let some things go. It's hard dealing with stress. Distinguishing between when you need to put more effort in and recognizing when you've done your best. All you can do is your best. If something is too much then it is just that, too much for you at that time.

I know it might sound selfish to take a break but I find that it helps me to "give in" and do what my body is telling me too do when I'm struggling. Whether that is to lay down and get some rest or to relax and do something calming.
Recharge my "batteries."
Breathe.
Then move on.

[npixelz]

That's very profound, wise, and true, Watery. I agree.

[NerdyAliCat]

Thanks Watery Star

[Watery Star]

You're welcome.
It took awhile to sort out my thoughts so I'm glad it made some sense. ^_^;

[npixelz]

I know what you mean, when talking about serious matters like this, it sometimes takes awhile to gather your thoughts and put them into words. You want to make every word count, and mean something. Sometimes you end up repeating yourself, or just not making sense, but if you do it right, you can sometimes deliver a powerful message.
