Yeah, I’m Caring Less

I have spent the bulk of my life caring TOO MUCH about everything and everybody’s opinions. Today, I decided to just care less about what’s the “right” thing to do (according to society’s rules) and focused on what felt like the next best step (based on my priorities and what matters to me).

“When we entertain everyone’s opinions, we live our lives with so much angst. I’m over caring so much about what everybody thinks. I choose to care less.’” — Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist mdillondesigns.com/blog

I ended up having a beautiful day, supporting loved ones in the ways the needed me, AND created beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

I’m grateful that I threw out the rule book and focused on what matters to me. I plan to do that a lot more…. And this month, I believe #CARELESS is the theme. I’m ready to enjoy my life more, and release those beliefs, expectations, and affirmations that don’t serve me and make life unnecessarily hard. I’m ready to abandon all the “not me” parts and just fully embrace my truth and my way of doing things. And that begins by caring less about how other feel about it and what they’ve got to say about it.

Join me this month for my new #podcast series, #CARELESS.

Blessings!

Eff It: It Is What It Is

Day 30 “Eff It: It Is What It Is” #REWIRING Share & Let’s Live! #Podcast Series w/ Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist

Sometimes the best we can do is acknowledge things are out of our control and just roll with it. Some days you have work to do but you’re not feeling well and can’t work through it. Eff it. Get that rest. Some times life happens and you’re out of resources. You could be mad at yourself, at life, at whoever, or you can just take a second and accept that the situation is as it is and being upset is just making a bad situation worse.

I had to do that today. I honestly was p*ssed. I had WORK to do, but I could physically stay awake. Nothing I did was giving me energy to get through it, so I just had to give up and take that nap. And I had to stop being pissed at myself for being exhausted.

I wasn’t even gonna post this podcast because I was so tired that I was just gonna go to bed. Instead. I didn’t edit much. And I’m leaving like that. Because it is what it is. Life isn’t always perfect. So today’s podcast won’t be either. And I’m not about to do the meme. I’m posting this, getting something to eat, and going to bed. Sometimes we just have to give ourselves room to be human.

Press play to listen to today’s podcast. FYI I cuss so wait ’til the kids and elders aren’t around. Blessings!

Try Going Neutral

When life is tempting you to spiral into anxiety, try going neutral. Don’t be positive. Don’t be negative. Just be and breathe. And stay there a while.

That’s what I’ve been practicing this week. Miraculous things have happened. AND I’ve seen what happens when I go back to the default worrying, panicking and being p*ssed.

I prefer the results of going neutral. This may be a life-changing decision. It’s definitely something I’m practicing. And I love that when I find myself panicking, I hear my inner voice saying, “Go neutral.”

And…. this doesn’t mean you don’t handle your business. Sometimes you just need a minute for a calm head so you know the best thing to do…. so you can respond rather than react. Sometimes you do nothing, because you’ve already done everything within your control, so worrying, and getting yourself worked up, is pointless. So you just breathe and decide to not think negatively, or positively. Just be.

Try it. It’s kinda awesome.

Blessings!
