This past week has been heavy enough for me to want to run and hide under a rock. My babies started daycare, they landed themselves sick in the hospital for 2 nights, while I balanced a stormy relationship with my ex husband, and rolled with the financial punches of having to miss work and rearrange my schedule so I could care for my family. I am left with this MAJOR conclusion: This world is SCARY. Whether its viruses, crazy terrorists in the Middle East AND at home, difficult ex spouses, rocky changes in finances, or anyone else in or out of your bubble - Its easy to be fearful of something and constantly be holding your breathe waiting for something catastrophic to happen. This whole last week, I was in reaction mode. I was running around, putting out fires left and right. And all those fires ALMOST swallowed me whole. I was trying to control EVERYTHING. I was my own terrorist. I made matters worse because I was off balance to begin with. WHAT IF I had spent the time and energy I originally used to worry and fear and fret and put it toward actually doing something PREVENTATIVE to put me in the space to actively be able to accept whatever came my way? My experience would have been very different most likely. And maybe not on the outside, but I can tell you, I would have felt a lot more calm and peaceful and grounded.
