Monday Motivation - I focus on what I can control & release the rest.

Hello Reader, Hopefully you had a chance to process any big emotions you had after the election, and to make new plans if needed. (Although it was a full moon last week, so YMMV!) Election results can be a visible and visceral reminder of how little control we have, especially at a national or global level. We do our best by casting our own vote, by campaigning ahead of time, promoting or supporting the candidates and causes we believe in, and possibly attempting to change hearts and minds around us...but in the end we can't control the outcome. So if election results--or anything else in your life!--has you feeling despair or helplessness, you definitely need today's affirmation! "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." Neither you nor I were responsible for the election results. We aren't responsible for global warming, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or systemic inequality. But these are the types of things that can keep us up at night or give us anxiety attacks. Because they certainly exist, they are certainly harmful, and there is a lot of messaging telling us we are responsible for fixing them. But trying to fix everything and everyone is a recipe for burnout. And working yourself into the ground isn't the answer. Instead, we must pick and choose our battles. And it's not cowardly, it's smart to be choosy! Being discerning about how we use our limited time, energy, and attention matters. Keeping us overwhelmed is one way toxic systems keep us powerless, and you and me? We're onto that trick. We aren't going to be distracted. We're going to stay laser focused this week by repeating 21x/day: "I focus on what I can control & release the rest." |

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same again this week: I am always in the right place at the right time for what’s meant to be. I'll be honest: this affirmation hasn't been resonating super well with me. I haven't seen any movement on the job/money/gigs front. I don't feel like I'm in the right place. I'm overwhelmed with the amount of chaos happening in our country right now and I keep re-opening decisions I thought I'd made & put behind me. But when I look back over the past two...

Hello Reader, This week we're tackling FOMO! I am always in the right place at the right time for what’s meant to be. My husband is working on a couple side projects: a novel & a video game. Both of these industries can be pretty time sensitive--certain themes and genres seem to be more popular during some years than others. If you miss the window, you might be SOL. At least...that's the way it feels to us! Right now, both of his projects look like winners--a style or mash up of which there...
