I have a confession and some news to share with you.
First, my confession. I’m not invincible and I feel like I’m going to lose my mind! My kids are driving me nuts. They’re never satisfied and school is still 3 weeks away. The dog won’t stop eating new kitty’s food and kitty is hissing at the dog relentlessly. I am having a hard time keeping up with all the e-courses that I signed up for (boohoo, I know!) and I feel like I’m never doing enough – for my family or my business.
That, folks, is a bit of overwhelm. I feel like I’m spinning my tires and getting nowhere fast.
And then I remember to breathe.
This simple act of taking deep breaths and then gently reminding myself of what I am getting done, despite how I feel mentally, is what’s keeping me from a full and utter meltdown.
The kids are fed and clean. The house is relatively tidy. We eat supper as a family every night.
The dog and cat are finally beginning to like each other. The kitty food is now up on the counter where dog can’t reach it.
I’m on Day 11 with my Spirited Reiki I students. Love these ladies!
I’ve released Spirited Reiki II to the graduates of the May and the soon-to-be August session.
I’m in the final stretch of my Creatively Fit Coaching Certification.
It’s okay to be a bit behind on my spiritual homework. It’s my journey.
I’m working on interviews for 3 different blogs – yes, 3! Yay!
And, today, I announced the launch of Where The Spirited Women Gather. This concept has been brewing within me for months now and I finally dove in head first! It will be part Women’s Circle, part education and completely driven by you, the readers. Please head over and read up on what it’s all about. I’d love for you to be a part of my launch!
So, in a nutshell, as a wildly driven and overcommitted creative spirit – I am close to losing my mind. On the flip side, my mind is offering up new and exciting projects that will, hopefully, continue to propel my business forward, so I’d better treat it nicely.
How are your hazy days of Summer going? Tell me I’m not the only one feeling this way. Pretty please?
I remember the days of end of summer and my boys driving me nuts..and still weeks to go before school started again! I’ve had my 2 home now since early spring when Uni finished…and I look forward to them going back to school in the fall…we’ll be moving their things to their new apartments in a week or so. And then I’ll miss them like crazy…can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em!!! xo
So true! Darn kids.
This post really sounds like some of my days ; ). This summer has actually been pretty good with the kids but the last one seemed to last forever. And I felt so bad about not being happy to be with my kids 24/7.
Now, I’m more in the never-doing-enough either with my family or with my business phase. I LOVE my work and could do it all the time.
Thank you for the reminder to breathe and to remember what I DO get done.
Love, Karina
