Stressed out to Winning
Ever had a week where the hits just keep coming?
Not the top 40 hits of todays pop music but the unrelenting hits of things going wrong one after another.
That’s where I’ve been at this week. What seems like an unrelenting amount of stress from every which way.
Thursday and Friday were the pinnacle of it for me.
I just couldn’t get ahead like a boxer catching blows to the face.
Like trying to tread water but the waves are splashing your face and you fight to get air.
The stress of not sleeping because my 3 year old was having night terrors, trying to get stuff done but the lack of sleep was causing me to stress out and freeze.
The dishes were piling high and the mess overloaded my mind with overwhelm
Procrastination levels were rising and any to-do list was just too much.
I felt defeated and I wanted out. So I needed to change my mind.
But how?
I needed it to look for something better than things that overwhelm me.
So I sat in my feelings, because it’s valid but I set an alarm. An alarm to acknowledge my feelings then to stop being in them. Defeat isn’t all the time, it’s a moment.
Then I started to look for things to be grateful for. I needed out of my head and to look for the good.
Then I looked for the wins.
Where did I win today?
Well I fed my son. I’ll take that win.
I drank some delicious coffee. There’s a win
Then I felt those wins. I let that fill me with energy and the desire for more wins.
I brushed my teeth, I made my bed I opened windows all these small wins led me to do the bigger ones. I did the dishes and got on my coaching call and more and more wins started to come. More energy came, my mood improved the stress and overwhelm melted away and I was feeling unstoppable!
Made posts, sold some books and even wrote things for my next book. All these things were coming together and my mind kept looking for more ways to win.
But it wouldn’t have happened if I stayed in the defeat. If I didn’t set that obnoxious alarm ⏰ to stop the pity party and start the winning party.
We can tell our minds to look for things we just get stuck in the last thing we were looking at. Train your mind to look for ways to win and see where it takes you.
