Day 8 “Sh*t, We Here, Now” #IAMtheONE Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist
Sometimes life throws sh*t at us that doesn’t make sense, stuff that doesn’t seem fair… Sometimes, it’s far worse than we could’ve ever imagined… lightyears beyond our worst case scenario.
We always have a choice. We can make it worse by being miserable on top of our misery, or we can throw up our hands and say, “Sh*t, we here, now.”
We can think of all the ways and reasons this moment sucks, or we can choose to see it as it is, and choose to remain present. It may not serve us, in the current moment, to think of all the reasons why this happened. We’re here now. And it may not serve us to think of all the ways this situation will get worse in the future. That type of thinking, when we’re furious and frustrated only makes matters worse.
And I’m not saying it’s easy. It’s hard as f*ck. AND we still get to choose. We don’t have control over certain things that happen in our lives, all we can do is control our response. That often starts by interrupting our thoughts. When all that frustration and overwhelm tries to take over, we have to choose to pause the flow of thoughts….
When you’re about to lose your sh*t, like I was just seconds ago, it helps to have a mantra. I just got quiet, slowed my breathing, and began to repeat, “In the present moment, all is well. In the present moment, all is well. In the present moment….”
Find one that works for you. Maybe yours will be, “Sh*t, we here now. What’s one thing that I CAN do?”
We’re getting through this! We’re not making the news. 😆 We will behave ourselves and B R E A T H E. 😌 (BTW Prayers and shout outs to all my people in the “sandwich generation.” Not easy. Let’s BREATHE extra. 😆)
Anywho… today’s podcast is empowering… and funny. I cuss a lot, but it makes sense. If these words resonated with you, check out the podcast above or below.
