The holidays are upon us, which adds yet another layer of responsibilities. Whether it’s baking cookies or coordinating a gift for your mom from the family, this time of year has its own pressure. Or perhaps it’s navigating the grief of a loved one no longer with you. All of this can have an additional impact this time of year. Speaking to a friend about this recently, we referred to this as “emotional whiplash.” You might feel emotions and deep-seated feelings that others won’t understand, side by side with the demands of what needs to be done.

Think of driving down a road with potholes at 65 mph. You need to get to your destination! But your car is shaking, you’re shaking, suddenly your ability to keep going has gone. We talked about this in our Online Care Circle recently: how easy it is to get caught up in the gotta go mode, and how poor the results can be. 

We have choices. Would you like to show up more effectively? More balanced? Make clear decisions? I encourage you from my place of muddling through to take the opportunity to slow down. You hear the cry of others, pause,  and hear your own cries echoing back. Resist the statement – “I don’t have time.” – and do something that brings balance back into your life.

pause and breathe

In the mix of overwhelm that can happen in our lives, from the usual to-dos to the unexpected, are you taking time to stop? To B-R-E-A-T-H-E? Be honest with yourself. We all think we can handle a lot, and at times we have to. Try changing up the usual protocol you have done into an energetic shift. Energy is powerful stuff – what you put in you get back multiplied abundantly. Be aware of the negative you send out (or in) because it is likely to produce more.

Change Your Perspective and Change Your Life

Murphy’s Law warns us: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” That is a mindset that many people carry with them; is that you, too? It’s easy enough to do when you’ve hit your limit of things on your to-do list or experienced a series of negative events. But here’s a different perspective I would like you to consider: When things appear to be going wrong, what if they’re going right?

Make Lists to Help Find Clarity

Find Clarity

These lists can be anything from doing laundry to composing a financial plan for yourself and will elevate the mind chatter and help alleviate missing things. I know some people who create a list with hours/times added to it. Personally, that’s a bit restrictive because there are times during my day that I know I need to get a shopping list together and balance my financial record, but my energy level may be drained that day. So, for me, having a general to-do list within a week highlighting deadlines is a more effective solution.
