All these thoughts can build up on us.... breathe.
You have to be ready for it. Ready to change... alter... and naturally evolve. Slamming your foot down and demanding a change? Maybe in certain situations or certain times... maybe one moment... but I've most "success," with patience... awareness.. and a clear mind.
It's kind of like riding a motorcycle. You cant just jerk the wheel left when you want to take a left, you have to slow down a touch and leeeaaaan in real nice and smooth. Try to take the turn too fast, and it greatly increases your risk of injury.. or worse.
The things we want... or the things we want to improve, to improve the quality of our lives... take time. You can't find it in a pill... or a fad... or a fashion... you cant buy it... you cant just imagine it and POOF... you cant tattoo it and you cant wash it away.
Take it slow... have a plan... maybe that plan is a book, a class, a BootCamp! some "you time..." a movie... a vacation... a change of scenery... a financial advisor... a school advisor...
"I need a plan."
Take your time... and breathe it out.
