Sometimes we have our “off” days.
And low moments.
And ARGH.
Or UGH.
Or WAAAAAAH…
Or W.T.F.?!?!?!?!
Yup.
I’ve been having a lot of those.
Yes, I post lots of positive/inspiring stuff on social media. But that’s mainly in the morning to pump myself up for the day. And it’s real. I’m generally in a pretty good mood in the morning.
But by the end of the day…
Being a teacher is HARD.
Dealing with private students who don’t practice is ANNOYING.
Planning a wedding is STRESSFUL.
I’ve been told the last few weeks before are even more stress-inducing.
UGH.
Where’s the wine?
[No, wait. Still have to fit into that dress…]
So I just embrace those moods. The “wedding blues” I have started to call it. It’s not easy working 1 1/2 jobs and planning the most important (and most expensive!) party you are ever going to throw!
But denying those feelings won’t help. And make things worse. Because they just come out sideways and in ways you don’t want them to or mean them to.
And we’re not alone in those moods. Wedding planning or not.
Everyone feels burnt out/sad/pissed/ tired/drained/cry-me-a-river/stressed (dessert spelled backwards!) at some point. It’s important to remember that.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
So embrace it. This too shall pass.
Breathe…

Do what makes you happy.
Even when you’re in a bad mood.
Especially when you’re in a bad mood.
