Sometimes that’s the only word that comes to mind when things get really crazy. And it may even be followed by a sigh, a tear or a scream because sometimes life just becomes extreme. There isn’t one specific event or one “straw” that does it, but rather an accumulation of major life changing and life challenging events that happen over a period of time.
Have you ever noticed that when things get busy or life happens we forget to take care of ourselves? That when life gets "nuts" we turn to caffeine and sugar? We stop exercising and sometimes we even let our spiritual life take a back seat to our "real life". We stop listening to that little voice saying “hey…remember me”. We forget to use all the “tricks” and “tools” that help us unwind and recharge. And, most importantly, we forget to focus on all the good that is happening around us.
And then we are shocked when we don’t feel right. We wonder where our “mojo” went. It’s harder to laugh and our conversations center around how difficult things are or how “tired” we’ve become.
The reality is that life happens and sometimes the events are good and sometimes they down right stink. Sometimes you don’t know how you will make it through the next minute and other times you wish that time could stand still. The point is that life isn’t always easy and things happen, and the best we can do is take care of ourselves so that when the “tough stuff” comes around we have the energy and the stamina to get through it.
I’m beginning to realize that life is much like a sunrise….out of the darkness comes the most beautiful masterpiece filled with brilliance and magic….and I can’t wait to see how it plays out.
Action: Take some time today and reflect on whether or not you are doing a good job of taking care of yourself. Are you taking time to do the things that recharge your battery and fill you up? If not, now is the perfect time to start!
