When my life got hectic, I stopped meditating. This was the absolutely, positively, worse thing that I could have done. When life got hectic I should have made Meditating my number one priority. In the midst of the chaos, I threw a shoe at my husband and left a small cut on his face, I lost my wedding band, & spent a lot of money paying someone to drive. I wish I would have spent some time centering myself. If I could provide some advice to anyone else having a stressful week, or if things seem “too busy” take some time out to MEDITATE, MEDITATE, MEDITATE! I am also practicing being present in the moment, I am revisiting the book Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. At my husband’s insistence, I have also scheduled an appointment with a Psychologist. Will keep you posted on my progress. Have a blessed day.
My life got hectic. My husband had to go away for a work trip. I panicked! I feel overwhelmed day to day with his help. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get to manage by myself. I felt anxious about driving. I felt anxious about being the sole caretaker of my son with no family nearby to lend a hand. I felt anxious about me sobbing on the side of the road while my son was waiting for me at daycare.
So I outsourced driving. I hired someone by the hour to drive me to and from work. It was expensive, but it allowed me to be productive at worked. It also helped me to sleep well at night knowing that I didn’t have to drive.
I took a few hours off of work everyday to come home, prep dinner, tackle some chores before I went to pick up my son. That allowed me to pick him up, relax and enjoy some quality time.
Outsourcing driving only temporarily solved a small part of the problem. I know I am not living my best life. I know I am not being the best wife, mom, friend or sister I can be. I want to overcome this.
