Help for Mom: Survive or Thrive
When I was away visiting family, I was feeling pretty good about my life.
I have a lot going on, but it’s going great. I’m holding it together. 3 busy kids. My business. Home ownership. Church and community involvement. It’s totally fine.
My first day back and the mail was piled up.
I was behind on my business.
There is a hole in my front yard where a dead tree was removed… I need to take care of that.
The lawn needs to be mowed.
I need to set up that doctor appointment.
Oh, and a few more school clothes to be purchased.
I went from feeling “on top of it” to wondering, “how in the world will I survive?”
It made me so grateful for the life coaching tools and the ability to “manage my mind.”
This is the most important skill that I teach my clients, and the skill that has changed (and continues to change) my life.
Mind management is about awareness of thoughts that overwhelm me vs. thoughts that help me.
I can choose either line of thinking, depending on the result that I want.
I can let all the responsibilities suffocate me, or I can know that I’ve got this.
I can be practical about my time and figure out what’s possible for me to do, and what’s not.
No need to worry that life feels impossible, because I know that it’s not.
In fact, I believe that I’m never in an impossible situation. There is always a solution. Always a way.
As long as I know that, there is no need to worry and fret.
It’s time for me to find solutions and make magic in my life.
Have a great day, one thought at a time.
