Dina Deleasa Instagram – Unpopular opinion right now: You do not need anything from Amazon Prime this week to make you happy.
I am not knocking those who love to shop the prime days and outline the sales. I mean, sometimes I link things for you! However, if I need to remind myself then chances are you could use the reminder too. Because I know some of us are holding our breath as we check at the grocery store. Scrolling through IG or LTK accounts feeling like I need to burn down my house and start all over again. Or feeling like if I just bought full outfits from my favorite influencer I would feel more “put together.” Well- that may very well be true, haha!
Just because I want it doesn’t mean I need it. That is a hard truth I have to practice daily. Also, contentment doesn’t mean trying to go to the other extreme of wanting nothing. But there is this place in the middle where sometimes you have to wait for you want, or use more discernment towards what you think you “need.” I tend to walk through the day adding up everything I don’t have, or could really “use.” I find myself getting frustrated and restless. Then on my way down the driveway to get the mail I see how pretty my hydrangea plant is this year. I smile as I cut some stems and brought them inside, instant flower arrangement. I smiled at the way Siena stood in her play kitchen “sauteing” cherry tomatoes for me. I noticed the way she held my hand and skipped from errand to errand with me one day.
I have started being intentional about taking notice and logging the little things that make my heart skip a beat. The times where I stop and stare, smiling a bit. I think that is God’s way of soothing my restless heart, of calming the storm of discontent that sometimes starts to swirl inside of me. Because underneath my frustration that swells at times, I truly am nothing but grateful. I just get too distracted sometimes. Will anyone join me over the next couple of weeks intentionally taking notes of these moments? I would love to know what stops your anxious heart in its tracks!
Oh! But if you need vitamins, then yes, stock up during Prime Days. Definitely better prices 😜
