9 Goals To Help Deal With Feeling Helpless

Happy Monday guys! I hope you are starting out the week on a positive note.  I am trying to but I must admit that it is a challenge.  No, I have not come down with a case of the Mondays.  My mom has not been feeling well and I am dealing with that helpless feeling.  Don’t you hate that?  I know to keep praying and trusting God and I also know there are things that I should focus on when life sucks and when life feels out of control.  So, I will take my own advice to deal with feeling helpless.

I am setting some goals this week that will help me to take care of myself while dealing with feeling helpless.

1. I will continue to watch what I eat. No eating my feelings!
2. I will walk on the treadmill today, go for walks during work, and go to Zumba Friday.
3. I will communicate with my therapist every day this week (Yes, I’ve gone back to therapy.  More on that another day)
4. I will seek out things that make me laugh.
5. I will do a little bit of cleaning each day.
6. I will practice the scriptures I’m memorizing every day.
7. I will distract myself from negative thoughts by any means necessary.   Mostly likely by reading, playing candy crush, and texting with friends.
8. I will be wearing my St. Patrick’s Day attire this week.
9. I will celebrate my 36th birthday!!!!!

That’s right my birthday is this month.  I happen to be one of those people who loves birthdays.  I love my birthday and celebrating other people’s birthdays too.  That should be a highlight of this week despite feeling helpless.

I’m sure you have been in situations where you have struggled with feeling helpless.  How did you take care of yourself during that time?  What do you think of my goals for this week?
