Summary

#53. It is officially one month since I moved to Scotland, and although I didn't expect it all to be sunshine and roses, I've still been surprised at how emotionally difficult I've found the process of settling in to be. Today’s episode is definitely a journal entry, but I do also share my therapist-advised action plan for getting out of my funk. This episode is sponsored by LMNT.

0:00.0	Welcome to Prologs. My name is Mary, and when I get overwhelmed and start feeling behind, I find it helpful to zoom out and remind myself that I am still in the beginning of my story. I'm sharing all of my life's chapters, mental health, relationships, wellness, beauty, the chaos of being in my 20s, and all of life's unexpected turns. Prologs is the best way to start
0:39.0	your week, so join me every Monday morning for a new entry into my digital journal.
0:43.6	I've been trying for days to record this episode, and every single time I find a spot and I sit
0:49.4	down, either construction starts, yard work starts, there's sirens or truck noises, garbage pickup.
0:56.1	Like, it's been a journey trying to sit down and record this episode for you.
0:59.4	And of course, it's harder than it needs to be when I finally convinced myself to return to
1:03.8	the podcast and really throw myself back into work and everything.
1:07.4	Guys, I have been in Scotland for about a month now.
1:10.5	Actually, today I'm recording us. It's been actually
1:12.5	one full month, four weeks to the day. And I've been in such a funk. I've just been unable to
1:19.1	get out of my head. I've really been struggling. And I've been keeping it inside until yesterday.
1:24.8	Yesterday, I had a big breakdown. I spoke briefly about it on the Prologs podcast Instagram.
1:29.9	I talked to Matt about it. I had a crying breakdown. I spoke about it in therapy. For the first time in a
1:34.9	month, it just came pouring out of me. And as I'm sure you've noticed, I've been inconsistent with
1:41.5	podcast uploads lately. YouTube uploads. I've been a little bit more quiet on Instagram, just everything, every form of content I make. I've been inconsistent with podcast uploads lately. YouTube uploads. I've been a little bit more
1:44.6	quiet on Instagram, just everything, every form of content I make. I've just been not producing as
1:49.4	much. And I feel so bad about that. I feel so guilty about that. And yet at the same time, I haven't been
1:55.5	able to convince myself to do anything. And it's been so frustrating because I have all of these ideas.
2:00.7	I'm a creative person
2:01.8	and I am constantly making notes of cool videos I want to make or ideas to level up my business or
2:07.3	ideas for the future. As you guys know, I'm starting my own brand and I have ideas for that.
