STOP THIS THING! I want to get OFF!
Do you ever feel frustrated because you just can’t seem to get caught up? Life just keeps throwing curveball after curveball. STOP FOR A HOLY SECOND AND LET ME CATCH MY BREATH FOR THE LOVE OF TURKEY MEATBALLS!!!
Good luck with that. Sheesh, the speed of life seems to have sped up, and it’s hard to get a foothold sometimes. You feel frazzled, overwhelmed, burned out. But as my favorite quote says...
That’s it. It’s going to keep raining. Life is going to keep throwing the curveballs. Sorry, I know, this is supposed to be motivating…but I’ve got a strategy for you in here somewhere amongst the bad news. I’m all about honesty spoken with love…and some tactics. So try this.
When you’re feeling like you just CAN’T any more...stop, take a breath, and look how far you’ve come. Think about a year ago, or maybe 5 years, or maybe just since last week. Whatever timeframe you choose, think about how far you’ve come. What you’ve learned. What you’ve overcome. What you’ve survived!! You’re actually a total badass when you list out all the storms you’ve danced through. (even if you're dancing like Elaine on Seinfeld!)
By reminding yourself of your total bad-ass-itude, you’re more likely to feel confident attacking the current storm, a bit more resilient, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel like your armor isn’t as rusty as you were feeling a minute ago.
You’ve got this Tiger! You’ve survived every worst day of your life, and you’ll survive this one too!
