![[sound on if you like joy] reminder: if a positive mindset (and epic 80’s playlist) can make a car ride to Costco this fun, you too can turn a frown upside down!
.
Today I realized how positively I’m thinking and feeling lately. It wasn’t easy or quick, but with consistency I found myself just living a life full of laughter and love. It has been a journey, through the darkness of grief and depression, it was so very difficult to want to pull myself out. But accepting where I was and what I was feeling, then acknowledging what I wanted and going through the motions to achieve that made a significant difference over time. And of course lifestyle changes that focus on health like sleep, less stress, and red light therapy.
.
Today I had an awesome time at Costco with kids *gasp* and even made silly fun with the misery of back to school shopping yesterday! Things that I could have complained about were wonderful.
.
And today I tried on a bunch of clothes, and it also was fun! What an incredible feeling, to enjoy the act without the emotional baggage of shame or guilt or needing to tell myself not all clothes fit all people. I cannot explain the peace I feel, living the skin I’m in. And it just happened with self belief!
.
Today I believe in you, that you can find the joy these boys have; I want this for you! #findingjoy #journey #singalong #livelaughlove #lovelife #ibelieveinyou](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/a802f7dcd65117837d88987aa78c5be7/5D64506B/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/66767716_2319296674988600_2081185318927452791_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "[sound on if you like joy] reminder: if a positive mindset (and epic 80’s playlist) can make a car ride to Costco this fun, you too can turn a frown upside down!
