I'm not a hug fan of this show but Stacy London and Clinton Kelly bash peoples arguments that wearing what you find comfortable doesn't mean that you are always presenting your best side.
When things get uncomfortable or you get pulled away from the comfort of it all you are more likely to make a change...either for the positive or the negative.
My life is sometimes comfortable and sometimes not comfortable.
I'm very comfortable with who I am outside my house.
At work I am defined by my job, a teacher. The children in my room love me, I plan fun lessons and enjoy teaching little people new things. I know I have a start time, a finish time and I do my best to be the best I can be. It's as easy as that...I'm comfortable.
I'm not always as comfortable at home.
At home, I feel like I have to be everything to everybody, I have to be able to see everything that is going on, fix every problem, change everything that needs to be done. It a big role and I feel like I don't do it great every time. When this happens I begin to feel like a failure.
I let my weakness be what I focus on...not who I am or what I do right.
I get comfortable with being discontent. I feel uncomfortable by my weakness and I then I get stressed out by my life.
I need to work on being content with my weakness, to not be defined by my failures or shortcoming but to embrace what I do well.
Today I conquered life by:
- breaking my chores into manageable pieces and relishing in the victory of something getting accomplished!
- saw my sister, got to appreciate the skill with which she has been gifted in painting and art and now have loveliness to see on my walls.
- cooking a meal I enjoy eating and savoring the flavors of the food and knowing that my family enjoys it as well!
It's been a good day full of ups and downs and twists and turns but I didn't let myself get comfortable with falling into my old habits! And for that I am thankful!
