Dear Reader,
I have no doubt that each of us goes through our own challenges. Sometimes the challenges are great and sometimes they are little but they are so many that it seems overwhelming.
This past week for me has been a little crazy; I was supposed to get a tax refund but ended up having to pay in because of some ‘change’ in the “system”.
Then my website was hacked. Thank goodness I got it back.
Then a few other things… which I'll spare you the details.
It literally felt like something out of a movie. Of course, this all happened during reporting week at work. 😂
And in the midst of this, I realize that my problems pale in comparison to many others.
But here's what I thought this week;
THANK GOD for your peeps - they will literally carry you through the darkest of days
Make space for yourself when things are tough
NEVER say die! While you're still alive there's still hope
Don't quit…you've got this!
Sending everyone lots of love
Lisa
2 Things
01. Watch some comedy
Two things often help me in the midst of a challenge: cry or laugh. Sometimes you can't help which one happens but I do love a good comedy. Recently I went to watch a great Spanish comedian. But if you don't speak Spanish, put out one of your favorites and have a laugh today. You won't regret that you did!
02. “Just Be Positive” Can Be Terrible Advice
When you feel down, demanding that you "be positive" often creates more friction because it is unrealistic in that moment.
This does not mean you like the bad mood; it just means you acknowledge its presence without judgment…
