The last few months have been a bit crazy. Lots of big things going on in my personal and professional life. At times I felt like I was in the middle of a tornado! Lots of situations beyond my control. For someone who prefers joy and to see the good in every human, I was not happy.
I was trying to keep lots of balls in the air and the universe kept throwing more for me to juggle while insisting I dance and drink a glass of water at the same time. No one can do that successfully. I was tired and depressed.
While on the outside I looked like I was holding it all together, on the inside I was hurt and angry. Why was this happening? Does it all have to come at once? It was easy to get lost in the crazypants that had become my life.
Difficult times can cause a loss of perspective. Every situation began to grow in size. My usual way of handling things is to find the solution. I kept hitting brick walls. I grew tired and whiny and all victim like. Ugh! I knew that I needed to go back and get some tools to handle all that was being thrown at me. I went to my therapist.
Therapy is a great way to get the proper set of tools to handle all those crazy situations that make up life. It gave me my perspective back. There is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist or a coach in order to move forward in life. Many of you reading this have gone through life changing events. If you don't have the proper tools in your pocket to handle these changes, things will not go smoothly.
The fog has begun to lift and I am finding joy again. I want to share a small victory I noticed during this stressful time. I decided my body wouldn't suffer. I actually exercised more, not less. I made sure I ate my protein every day. I kept the sugar monster from joining the pity party. These were things I could control about my situation. In the past, I would have justified having lots of ice cream and no exercise.
