It’s so easy to go straight to worst case scenario.
Most of us are programmed that way.
Even if you’ve done a lot of work around this,
that sneaky tendency still shows up at times.
Lately I’ve been dealing with it.
Things didn’t go the way I had envisioned and my mind was instantly telling a tragic story:
This is a major problem.
It’s reeeaally bad... You should have seen it coming.
No break. Just a full-on downward spiral.
I'm sure you know what I mean.
Before you know it, you and everyone you love are completely screwed, the world is ending, everything you’ve ever worked for has gone to sh*t… and, and, and...
I’ve done this enough to recognize it now.
So this time (and I’ll be honest, it still took a minute…okay, well maybe a few days, no weeks.... ugghhh)
and some really good friends to snap me out of it.
I decided to stop. *Key word= DECIDED
Not to figure it out.
But to interrupt it.
And to ask a different question:
What if I don’t need to label this?
What if I just stay steady and keep moving?
It wasn't some big huge breakthrough.
Just a shift.
And then I got back to work.
If you’ve been there, I see you.
Please don’t run with the first story your mind gives you. It's just trying to keep you safe, but will not get you where you want to go.
Stay in work.
Keep choosing forward.
You’re building something that matters.
It will take time.
MAYBE it will all work out so much better than you could have ever imagined. 💛
