The grass is always greener

I've mentioned before that people show the highlights of their lives to other people. This makes it look like everyone else's life is more interesting/easy/fun/productive/successful/insert positive adjective here than your own. The truth is that everyone has shit to deal with in their life. No one's shit is the same as yours but there is always something going on in life that you are possibly unaware of.

While it is nice to be able to share your shit with someone, not everyone is able to do so. Accept that. I need to constantly remind myself of that. I also need to ensure that I don't overshare. I have a tendency to waffle on when I get nervous and always say more than I want to.

The important thing to do is to focus on your own life. Tend to your issues, address them as best you can and try not to let the shit in life get you down. That way people will look at your grass as the greener.

I need to refocus. I have neglected my grass and it is starting to brown, the weeds are showing through and it is unkempt. My aim is to eat better, drink more water, get back into running, work in some additional yoga sessions and get more sleep. I need to save some money and have someone look at the pinched nerve in my butt and my dodgy shoulder. I should also get off my arse to get the dentist to fix my chipped tooth. All cost money however and that is something I don't have enough of right now. So I will have to prioritise around my other financial commitments.
