I've realized the first step to "Finding Your Fabulous" is to get the hell away from everyone. You need to BE ALONE.
You
don't want to stay there forever but you can't avoid it either.
I'm a
social butterfly so this really freaks people out. But since I have no
filter and no politeness left I need to ONLY be around people who
support me and make me feel good.
When
you're down there is a tendency to pick up the phone, dial a friend and
talk it out. But when you have truly LOST YOUR FABULOUS this is only a
band aid. When you have truly lost your fabulous you need to sort some
things out ALONE.
You just need a minute to process things. Think about what has gotten you in this situation. You need to ask yourself how the hell did this all happen???
The answers aren't pretty sometimes. Right beneath the surface is that feeling of:

"Did I
bring this on myself?"
In some cases YES.
You avoided something again and AGAIN and it's
come back upon you TEN FOLD.
I always think of that Oprah show where she talked about signs, symbols of when God is whispering to you. A funny feeling, a time you say huh....but then you let it go and drink your wine. But then a bigger sign comes, and a bigger one and a bigger one. Soon that little feeling, that huh? becomes a WTF?!
It feels like it's out of the blue but guess what? IT'S NOT.

So in losing my fabulous I am realizing that I put off some things, avoided some things and made some bad choices.
I'm kinda wanting to beat myself up about it too. Which I hate. I can't let it go. I'm PISSED. I know I'll get through it...and I appreciate your words of encouragement and sharing about you losing your Fabulous because THAT HELPS.
Still figuring it all out. In the mean time this is my new mantra:
Knew you'd like that one....
