IWSG

This month, I've opted to deal with my insecurities by sticking my head in the sand. I don't want to face them, I don't want to deal with them, I don't want to drone on about them or give them voice. What I do want however, is to unplug for a few more days, enjoy time with my family, and pretend I live in a world where insecurities don't exist. Then, when my vacation bubble pops, and I find myself back home, I'll pull my head out of the sand, and freak out I'll face my  insecurities. But I'm hoping by then, I'll be armed with overflowing positive energy, renewed confidence, cold determination, and a beach tan.  (;

  15. A tan helps. (but don't overdo it). A vacation is for relaxing not for feeling insecure. And didn't you say Orlando? There's lots of sand at the nearby beaches.

  18. You know, I'm not so sure just tuning them out isn't a great way to deal with them. Sometimes it's better than nurturing them. Enjoy your break!

  20. I usually want to just hide my head in the sand to escape my insecurities, too. Or play video games. Lots of video games.

  35. Putting your insecurities down inside of you CAN be ok sometimes, just don't fall down that spiral so far that you can't climb back up! I hope everything is as well as it can be for you, Elise, and I'll be sending positive vibes your way!!! <3

  36. Hey Elise,

    That's the spirit! Savour your vacation, relax, get a tan. Then when you come back, gently get back into the groove. Let realistic positive anticipation be the motivator that makes you realise that dreams can become reality.

    Be well and smile, my friend.

    Gary :)
