00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 When the day is rough, having a mental escape hatch is a good thing.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 Tune in as I share mine.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:20 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:23 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 This isn't the episode I had planned for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:51 I was angry at mood disorders and mental health disturbances

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 because of some things

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 that some friends of mine are going through,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 so I got a little ranty.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 When I'm emotional like that,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 I try to let those feelings settle a bit,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 so I'm going to share with you one of the ways in which I do that.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13 I have this fantasy I call Cat Island.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17 When things get too peoply for me,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18 when I'm frustrated,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23 or I'm mulling something over deeply and haven't achieved peace

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24 with it yet,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:30 I picture an island of cuddly cats who want nothing more than

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 to sun with me and

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 make soothing purring noises.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:37 Being cats,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38 as they are,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42 they are very attuned to the emotions of others.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 So,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47 because I'm cranky or hungry or sad or overwhelmed,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53 they sense this and want nothing more than to snuggle up until

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54 the mood passes.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56 As I alluded to,

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 this week has been a doozy on a number of fronts,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 and while I'm sorting out my emotions,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06 I'm indulging in my cat island fantasy for a bit.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13 Perhaps it's time for me to pull out my wheel of emotions and

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 listen to that episode again.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17 Meanwhile,

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20 I'm going to pull out some of my favorite essential oils,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24 listen to my new super calming playlist,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26 knit a bit,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31 read some scriptures about God's incredible love for me,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 or some gratitude time,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:34 maybe both,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 and sneak in some cuddles with our kitty.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:45 Tune in for our next episode, centering on that incredible love from God.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 Our meme for today says,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52 if your day is less than perfect,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54 cat a log,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55 all your blessings.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00 What's your go-to oasis when things are squirrely?
