I’ve learned a lot about myself and life the last few months. Before that I believe I was in zombie mode. Just going thru the motions trying to get by day to day. I would have little flashes of life, but then I would slip back into being a zombie. Walking around feeling numb, not truly living life. I pushed aside my wants, my needs and the life I really wanted. Looking back at it now, I think to myself what a waste of time! All those years that I will never get back. But I could dwell on that all I want, but it doesn’t change anything. What I need to latch on to and learn from is I never want to be a zombie again.
Zombie’s are the walking dead. Right? Well, it took a major life change acting as my defibrillator to shock me back from the dead. In my case the life change started in the form of a separation. I removed myself from a negative situation and it starting to bring me back to life. Then I got hit with a huge bolt of electrical current in the form of another person. A spark of positive energy came over me and I was fully alive again.
Now the question is how do I not slip back into zombie mode ever again? Here’s my solutions:
- Surround myself with positive people who support me.
- Enjoy the little things in life.
- Be Grateful for everything!
- Don’t be afraid to put myself first sometimes.
- Hang out with people that accept me for who I am.
- Never be afraid to try new things.
- Be Honest and Authentic with People
- Be vulnerable, open up entirely, and love somebody.
- Help others.
- Make time for people and things I’m passionate about.
And that’s how I will keep that zombie away. And I am committed to doing these things. From this moment forward. Not going back. I love the feeling of being alive and I want to hold on to it until I really do die.
