How are you doing?
Really? How are you?
Have you had a few trying days? Trying to figure out . . . stuff? Work. Kids. Cook. Clean. School. FUN & MEMORIES? How can I do 100% kids and 100% work and 100% of everything else I need to do? That's about 300% of doing the best I can. We're all faced with change. For some, life hasn't been too different, for others their world has been rocked.
I feel lucky for the life I'm blessed with, but quite frankly, it isn't always easy. I feel like I'm constantly praying for patience and for balance in my life as I do my best to make it all work. The reality is, there will always be hiccups and stressors that come my way in work, home, and abroad.
The key is how I - and you, in your life - respond to these situations. Start by taking a deep breath and prioritizing - what's the most important thing here and what kind of person do you want to be through it?
I listen to podcasts, pray, journal, do different forms of personal development to help keep my chin up and motivation rolling along. One day last week after some rather rough days, I was seeking some wisdom and in a PD training I was doing I was reminded of a quote that I love - "What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?" by Erin Hanson.
The version I found sported Winnie the Pooh and was written in a familiar script - one that resembled my mom's... she also loved Winnie the Pooh. Ooooh lawdy - did that make me bawl! It was a sign of what I needed in my life - a reminder to live life to the fullest. To not let anything hold me back. To do what's right. To do my best. To love purely and true. To be the best me.
Every day and in all that you do, don't forget to seek clarity, gain perspective and check your attitude.
Clarity is king, perspective is prime and attitude is all.
So, how are you doing?
Take a deep breath and refocus and you'll feel a little bit better. Go fly your kite, and fly it high - you may stumble, but imagine how high you can soar! You got this. <3 Have a blessed week!
Best,
Brianne
