I thought today was Sunday…
The quarantine is starting to mess with my sense of time, like seriously! I woke up this morning at 5:30am with the feeling that today was Sunday. You always hear people say certain days have a feeling, “It feels like a Tuesday” or most people’s personal favorite, “It feels like it’s a Friday!” I never thought that theory made sense until I posted on my Instagram (@jermysaintlouis) and I said in the caption, “Happy Sunday!” Until one of my good friends DM’d me to remind me that today is in fact SATURDAY! 🤦🏾♂️
So, my Virgo brain took over and proposed a question: “If it was so easy to feel like I was 24hrs ahead of everybody for an extended period of time, and I believed it and operated in that “Sunday energy,” what else could I think of that I can believe in, so convincingly?” I really had to take a minute to process that question because when you think about time, what is it really? It’s really a feel. There is no time. That’s not how God operates anyway… I’m going to think of some feelings that make me behave in a way that truly feels good and convinces my subconscious that this feeling is actually occurring because the body doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s fake except for what the mind is perceiving at the moment. If you have ever been chased by a dog, or another person for that matter, your mind will remember that moment because it is designed to keep you from danger. To keep you “Safe” or in better words “Fight or flight” mode. If you remember a time that you were afraid and saw it in your mind as a memory, your body is sure to respond because of the magnitude of the vision and how much it effected you. But what if you remembered good thoughts and moments. Times where you were celebrating something special like your first car or the first time you fell in love. The smell of the flowers you bought your mother as a “Just thinking about you” gift.. good times. Great times. Happy times.
The Bible says in Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.”
So, instead of thinking that today is Sunday, I’m going to think of other things that will trigger my emotions in a positive way. Much Love Happy Saturday! lol

Evening thoughts…
Today was a good day today…how about yourself? I just wanted to express this air of gratitude that I’ve been in the last 3 days.. it’s crazy to even think that I’ve been sitting in a house for 5 weeks is even more absurd to fathom. But I’m hanging in there… had an interesting case of FOMO yesterday…the fear of missing out…it’s interesting that you’re not even aware that you’re doing it sometimes but that’s just the way it goes I guess…I’ve just been feeling that I’ve been missing my friends a lot but I’m not even really sure if it’s fomo or just the old thought of what I perceive to be friendship. Lately, I’ve just been thinking of how I can be better….I just want to be at a level or a place where I’m clicking on all cylinders…I’m actually here right now, doing exactly what I want to do with my life but do you see how easy it is to fall victim to deception if you’re not careful? I AM clicking on all cylinders…things ARE working out for me and they always do…I Like to say those things to myself often because it helps keep my self-worth in tact. There’s nothing worse than being a broken person and everyone alienates you, or rather, you alienate everyone else because of your behavior that can sometimes can lead you into a place of loneliness or resentment and even regret but it’s always good to keep a positive outlook on your life and keep your mind flooded with ideas of good things. Whatsoever a man thinks in his heart, so is he… so when you’re thinking about times in your life where you may feel left out, or not valued, remember that you are all you need. Encourage yourself and fall in lobe with that idea…..I’m about to go to bed but before I go, I pray that you come to a place in your mind that you are indeed special. God has a major plan for you and he wants nothing but for you to have a life where you are a living example of the power that he has placed inside of you. I find that I am at my absolute best when I walk in that energy and I hope you feel the same… Much Love ❤️
