Not everything comes up roses. You can travel along and the road can twist and send you sideways. No amount of planning or positivity can prevent a stray ball. Your health or a family member’s can put you in the passenger seat of a rough ride. What can you do? There only so many things we can control. That in itself is the knife twister, loss of control of a situation. Being told your whole life about making good choices and not being able to control bad things. So we cope or try to.
Initial reactions, you need to let yourself have those. Don’t skip, swallow or repress them. Even though you know things will be better, eventually. Being irrational and angry all valid, sad, overwhelmed, all normal. You got to get up, dust yourself off and carry on. Things can pile up in a hurry. You may not be able to change somethings, you can’t beat yourself up over that. Delegate, don’t carry it all.
Whether this message is for you or someone you know, do what you can, that’s it. Laugh at it, look for good always! Banging your head on a hard surface, really does nothing. Unpack it, look at it, and decide where to file it. Keep on and carry on. Simplicity, less stress, borrow someone else’s calm. You got this!
