Philosophy with Addison Rae
door Penelope Stephens
There's no revenge because I’m seeing 3’s everywhere
Welcome to another therapy session with Penelope…
Whoops I mean Boring Issues.
So lately, sh*t’s been dark - death, sickness and feeling like life is not okay.
But after two-three weeks (who’s counting😭) of sadness, this week my friend, I’m back.
I’m locked in, focused on my work, gym, creative hobbies and reminding myself that the best way to start feeling better is to focus on yourself.
So as the wise philosopher Addison Rae reminds us
“I know the lows are what makes the highs higher.”
And I’m here to remind you of that too.
Life can be shit.You can feel sad. Unproductive. Nothing is going to plan. You’re confused. Or like the world is ending.
But if you always come back to yourself - putting in the work and finding the time - you’ll always be there for you.
So yeah I did sit on the couch for a few days and wallowed while I was sick.
But instead of letting this sadness continue into my life further, the moment I felt better, I got back into routine.
I went to the gym, had a video call with my best friend, chatted to my sisters, did a face mask, cooked a nutritious meal (a real treat after eating junk food for a few days), finished an audiobook (The War of Art) and reminded myself everything is fine.
Life goes on.
Even if you feel like you’re hitting rock bottom.
Don’t focus on all the bs - it’s a waste of your time, I promise.
If you’re sad. Sit with your feelings for a day (or however long it takes - just not forever). Then move on.
If you get sick. Let yourself be sick. Then move on.
Bounce back like nothing happened or treat it like a cocoon where you come out better, more focused and ready for anything.
Always work on the things people can’t take away from you.
Work on your brain. Your physical health. Your skills. Your business.
Add in a few people who make you happy and honestly that’s all you need in this life.
Don’t let the lows take over your life.
Oh and why the 3’s you ask?
It’s a bit woowoo but seeing threes means good fortune, growth, opportunities, collaboration and new connections.
Anyway, I hope you’re in a place of rebirth, growth and excitement with me.
If you’re low, the highs are right around the corner my friend.
And remember…
“Every good thing comes your way, so still get dolled up”
Put the love into yourself, believe in yourself and good things will come.
Lots of love,
Penelope
