Sometimes life can get a little crazy, a little complicated and a little overwhelming. The one thing
that I can share with you, the one thing that I know to be true...this too shall pass.
Whether it's work related or personal, trust me, it will pass, it always does. You may not see it right now, and you may not even see it tomorrow, but if you dig deep enough, you will come to understand that everything has an expiration date, including any turbulent water you may feel that you are drowning in now.
What Can I Do Now?
What you can do now is take a deep breath...yes, right now, take a deep breath. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, until the only thing that you are able to hear is your own breath inhaling and exhaling. Do that for five minutes and then come back to the screen.
Now I need you to continue breathing and stretch your neck, tilt your head forward slowly, then slowly to your left, and then slowly to your right. Extend your arms our to your sides, making sure to stretch your fingers as far as they will go to either side. Once you're done, stand up and stretch your entire body, by clasping your hands and reaching for the ceiling while on your tippy toes.
Still breathing? Yep, you're still breathing.....and because you're still breathing, your heart still beats, you continue to live and you continue to dream. Whenever you get "that feeling", whenever you feel yourself becoming anxious, overwhelmed, worried or swallowed up by fear, take these same five minutes and give them to yourself. Whenever anyone has stolen your sanity, your strength, your heart, or your kindness....and you begin to feel as though there is nothing left over for you. Take it back!! Take it back and begin again.
Tomorrow Is Another Day
Tomorrow is another day, another opportunity to write a new chapter from scratch. I'm not telling you that it's going to be easy, but what I know, is that it can be done. You can renew yourself anew every single day. You can hit the reset button and start over. You can never ever change what has already happened, but if for some reason, something has occurred that has impacted you negatively, you can find ways to make sure that it never happens again, and you can start by taking care of yourself.
Those are my words of wisdom for today! Feel free to drop me a line at the email link on the top of this page. In the meantime, be good to yourself.
Peace be with you,
Casey
