Sledding Through Your Week

Have you ever looked at your schedule and thought: "hang on! How am I ever going to get through this week?” 

Maybe it feels treacherous, like you’re sledding down an icy hill - just out of control, not sure where you're going to land or what you’re going to slam into. Your stomach’s tight with anxiety. 

And at that point, the coping strategy of choice turns to denial - squeezing your eyes shut tight to avoid seeing what's coming your way (la la la...if I can’t see it, can it please go away?!), crossing your fingers, holding your nose, girding your loins...and hoping for the best. 

But what if it didn’t have to be this way?  What if it didn’t require rare luck for the best to happen? 

Instead of “yikes! My schedule is about to hit a tree!” it’s possible to move through the world by default thinking, “ah...good things are coming my way, and I joyfully receive them.” It’s possible to live more in the feeling of meaning, purpose, vision, motivation than not.

Have you had weeks where the overwhelm runs high? Or maybe it’s been that way so long you can’t imagine anything else.

Please share how it’s been for you. What’s worked to get you through, and what hasn’t? I’d love to hear.
