less resourceful day

Some days we are just feel less resourceful.

By this I mean that despite all the effort we have put into building coping skills; maintaining a healthy body by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising regularly; surrounding ourselves with positive people and relationships; and making time to do things that replenish and fill us; we still feel that we just don’t have what it takes to face the reality of our day.

There are days when the things life throws at us seem to be more than all our good resources can respond and adapt to.

And this is okay.

And it shouldn’t be every day.

Some days are diamonds and some days are stones.

Some days we have enough resources to respond to the things that life puts in our path.  Some days we have fewer resources to respond to the things that life puts in out path.

On the days you feel you have fewer resources, consider what you would tell a friend if they were feeling how you are feeling.  A good friend would say: “Be kind to yourself.” “Let me help you.” “You are stronger than you think”.  “We all have bad days”.

Not every day will be a stone.  Not every day will feel like a less resourceful day.  Some days you will feel like you have tons of resources.  Some days will be diamonds.
