Light Up the Darkness

Do you feel angry?
Are you afraid?
Is hope hard to come by?
Daily life brings triggers that send us into panic and before we know it we are overwhelmed and out of control.
I struggle when there are too many avenues to travel.
Multiple choice exams are my enemy!
Is “B” more correct than “A”?
Well, “C” is “A and B” so that makes the most sense, right?
When I spiral into the out of control tunnel of darkness and despair, to find my way out and back into the light I make just one decision and go with it. Only one.
The choice is not the end-all-be-all-absolute-solution. The choice is step one. Each individual choice I make, my options and path become more clear.
I fight fear with choice. I may not like the choices I am given, but choices they remain.
Where will you choose to start the week?
Light up the darkness with step one. 👑🧡

Schedule Worry Time

Worry is all around us. We all feel overwhelmed, out of control and filled with uncertainty.

Don’t deny it, schedule it! Give yourself time to examine your worry.

Ask the question…do I have control over this worry right now, today?

If yes-take action! Call a friend. Do the thing. Move into the fear & do something besides worry.

If no- let it go! Save the worry for later.

Do not let it clog up your mind & take up space when you have no control in this moment.

When worry time is up, clock out! That’s it …until next time.

Take control where you can. The key is figuring out when & where that is.
