(Below I’m announcing my new video series: Live Freely TV!)
I’m sitting on my back glass porch (my favorite room in the house). The woods and grey sky surrounds me. I have my coffee and two boys by my side. One boy is doing a puzzle in between complaining that we never have anything he wants to eat. The other boy is connecting-the-dots in his workbook – still in his jammies and with what he calls, “wake up hair”. (The other youngest boy is still sleeping after being wide away for two hours in the middle of the night – just talking and laughing to himself.)
I had my morning walk around the lake. It’s something I look so forward to now – my favorite way to get grounded for a day with the kids.
I’m feeling good.
But the last few days…
Well, that’s another story.
I had been feeling…stuck. Frustrated, tired, angry, confused…and just plain stuck.
I felt like a car with a flat tire. All these great places I want to go, but can’t seem to get there. (Hence, all my recent posts about patience!)
That happens, as I know you know.
Same days we feel great.
Some days we don’t.
Some times we feel like “we got this”.
Other times we don’t want to get out of bed.
That’s the nature of life, I guess.
And I think it helps when we stop labeling our experience as “good” or “bad” or “right” or “wrong”.
It just IS.
This is my life.
This is your life.
It is what it is.
Accept it.
Change it.
Embrace it.
Celebrate it.
And remember…some days flow and some days you just feel stuck.
Reflect on your own life today, with kindness. Let go of labeling each moment and instead – without judgment – simply observe what you are feeling and gently remind yourself to get back to this moment.
No matter where you are in your life, _this_ moment is right where you need to be.
Today, I’m announcing my new video series:
