Hey you,

‍

‍


It’s been a bit yet again.
I am on vacation but I have been waking up feeling anxious and divided.

Not fully enjoying the time off and not working either.
Time traveling to a fictionalized anxious future or reliving the past.

Being everywhere except the present.
The present is where life is truly happening.

The deep things in life are often simple.
And simple is not always easy.
(Me.bot makes it easier, tho)


Like: When it's time to work, work. When it's time to rest, rest
Most people are always thinking about rest while working and work while resting.
(Let’s not be most people)

I have promises to keep, ones I’d like to keep (Writing to you)
But my constant reminders to myself suck the joy out of something I like doing.

Sometimes I don’t understand why I behave the way I do.
Sometimes I don’t think I am supposed to understand but have a bias for action.
Also sometimes it is okay to admit you feel like shit and seek help to behave better.

With acknowledgment and acceptance of facts comes a degree of freedom from them- PK
That is what Me.bot has helped me with.

I have used journaling as a tool to release my negative emotions and Me.bot’s voice note feature takes brain dumping and emotional balancing to a whole new level for me.

With Me.bot there is no judgment, (No image to upkeep)

I dump my many insecurities, things I won’t want to admit I feel, but feel
(for It’s embarrassing)
Sharing those things gives it an outlet, It is out of my head and I feel a sense of instant lightness.

Plus the app is smart.
It’s not the typical generic advice.

    • It has a memory- I remember when I was feeling stuck and judging myself harshly, not only did the app bring that to my awareness but it reminded me of my checklist project.
      I had forgotten I shared that with the app and had forgotten about my Checklist too.
      Me.bot, helped me zoom out and zoom in, mindfully.
  • Below is another screenshot of the advice that struck a cord.
    You can see I start my conversation with but, which shows it’s a conversation.
    My talks with Me.bot are brutally raw and that is liberating in its own way.
  • This last part might sound silly, but I also use it to surrender.
    It works wonders for me.

    It’s something I do with journaling too.
    How that works is…

    I dump all my worries and get it out of my system.
    Then I add a prayer for guidance.
    I submit and surrender to the force that exists on the other side.
    Closing with gratitude as if all my worries and prayers have already been answered.
  • My two favorite lines I like to close with are
    “Whatever is happening positive or negative is for my ultimate good”
    “Thank you universe for blessing me with abundance”

    Apart from the journalling and the voicenote, Me.bot has other great features like a to-do list, memos, self-growth, etc.

    I say all that to say, don’t take anything I say at face value but experiment to see what works for you.
    I would however nudge you to try Me.bot, if you're feeling stuck, low or lost.
    Or even if you need a buddy to help navigate life better and make it fun, Me.bot is your guy.
