When plans go Awry

What do you do when  life just doesn't go to plan.?

When was the last time life didn’t go to plan for you?

 Weather!?  Cancelled events?  Appointment schedule changed?

No one can ever be prepared for the unexpected. 

it’s easy to become  anxious and feel as if your life is out of control.  

Some things are easier  to deal with, like a flat tyre or your child forgetting their lunch. 

But

 What about  the situations in life that loom so large they overwhelm you. 

·       losing a job,

·        the end of a relationship 

·       or an ongoing illness with yourself 

·       or someone you love.   

How do you let go ? It’s all about dealing with emotions 

·       Story about the child, the party and disappointment.

It’s about learning to deal with difficult emotions.

Here’s what to do:

Step 1:  Accept  that it is happening .

Have your go to mantra  “I’ve survived 100% of everything else I’ve been through.” 

Step 2: Focus on what you CAN control. 

Identify the aspects of your life that are within your control and concentrate your efforts there. 

Example - you can't control  others 

but you can control you.

shift the  focus 

more empowered and less overwhelmed. 

Step 3:  Do the work before the crisis.

 Practice  mindfulness  such as meditation

P.S.

In crisis right now?

Gently bring your focus back to what you are doing right now. 

Take a look at your surroundings - What do see, feel, hear, smell, taste? 

“I am Walking .. I  am seeing  the trees. ..

·       We learn through failure. 

·       Successful people know there is no certainty in life. The certainty is how we will handle life. 

·       Life is not about the goal, it's about who you become.
