Morning Mantra: "Just Breathe. It's just a bad day, not a bad life.”
Yesterday I received some terrible news. Yet again, I have lost my lease. This time, the day I was to sign for my dream shop. After months of preparation, negotiations, and overcoming doubt.
To say the last few months have been difficult is an understatement. Each day (including this morning) I have gotten up and asked for strength to get through, Just. This. Day.
Processing my father’s death has been overwhelming, and now, the news that my dreams have been squashed.
But, I KNOW I can get through a single day. So I take a deep breath, send some love to myself, and ask for help from God to get through it.
So when you start to feel the stress of life, take a pause, break things into little increments that you KNOW you can manage. For every time you are able to get through one thing, it will build strength for the next.
