As I assumed, life is having its way with me and I am doing what I can to jut hold on these days! But even in the chaos there is always learning...
With our move swiftly approaching, I have not ever assumed that I was going to be immune from the stress. Some days I am really on top of things and other days, on the bottom. So many details to get organized in such a short time.
But my intention with this move is for it to unfold effortlessly and with the least amount of turmoil. So when it isn't unfolding in this way...when I feel myself getting sucked into panic...what do I do?
2 things...
First I let myself be there. If I want to scream, kick and cry, I do that. Accepting that things are not always perfect, is liberating in itself. And then I ask myself what do I need and what do I want in this situation.
Whenever we feel stressed, no matter what level or grade of stress or discomfort you are feeling, this is always a sign that there is something missing in your current reality. Well, that isn't revolutionary is it? We all know that!
But what we don't often think about is getting clear about what that missing piece to our "contentment" puzzle is.We are so focused on the feeling of stress that we don't get clear about the real issue. We want relief - we are searching for it, but for most of us, this relief is elusive.
So, imagine a time, either in the past or present where you have felt really stressed. Now look underneath the stress and ask yourself what is it that you are needing or wanting?
Getting clear about this, accepting these needs/desire, and then taking action to manifest them is a simple (really it is!) recipie for managing stress.
Yesterday, after my melt down, I sat down with my husband and concretly old him wha I needed more of - a plan, a time line, structure and communication. Now we have that and the stress has melted away (for now! :-)).
How can you put this recipie in action in your life today? What would be different? What is hard about this for you? What is easy?
Need support? Have a question? Drop me a line!
Many blessings
