Not Giving Up!!

I know we are in some trying times and many are hurting financially, and otherwise, including myself.

Here is a short story of not giving and giving up from a friend of mine Max Bollkman Zuleta of Art Below Zero Ice Sculptures.

I hope it inspires you to keep moving forward, I know his words move me forward..

Thank you Max Bollkman Zuleta for sharing this:  The word of the season for every business owner is “pivot”. Since ice sculpting is pretty much in a halt for who knows how long, I’ll need to keep my business and family afloat, well, it turns out it’s very difficult to learn a new sculpting technique in a new material but for &$@& sakes I have survived civil wars, flying bullets over my head, drug cartels, corrupted police, politicians and military and I swear this fucking virus is not going to take me out of business, I should have opened a steakhouse though, we as small businesses are pretty much on our own, I have never collected unployment and is not in my plans.

How Are You “Really” Feeling?

How are you feeling? How many times have we been asked that question? How many times have we asked it? How many times have we given or received an authentic answer? Most say, I’m good, great, and that’s also what we expect to hear in return. What if we really tuned in and named our “true emotion?”

When you can understand and name your emotions, something magical happens. The mere fact of acknowledgment creates the ability to shift. When we don’t have the words for our feelings, we’re not just lacking descriptive flourish. We’re lacking authorship of our own lives….taken from Permission to Feel from Dr. Mark Brackett.

Not saying you have to really have to share your true emotions, but it is important to really explore in any given time, especially when you are struggling, what emotion you are truly experiencing?

How are you feeling today?

Covid-19 Fear Bringing Back Past Trauma.

The fear of the unknown. Being confined to little movement, brought upon by the Covid-19 is a recipe for heightened worry and possibly the re-opening of past traumas. If this is you or anyone you know, please reach out. (414) 881-7401

What The New Normal May Mean To You?

We are about a month in to the Covid-19 Stay at Home Order here in Wisconsin and pretty much through out the country. They say that being aware and careful about this virus until there is some type of treatment, some aspect of what we are going through, may be our “new normal.” Here’s a good article that discusses how this may effect us emotionally. Not saying it will but if you or someone you know is struggling now or struggle with the fall-out of this later, please feel free to contact me, or pass my number along. (414) 881-7401. Thank you!!

Control What You Can Control.

Although most of us heard about the Coronavirus before it hit the United States and put a stop to what was our normal routine, none of us were prepared of how it would impact us.

So today’s question is: what are you doing everyday to keep yourself sane? I’m not talking about hard things, I’m talking about easy things. Here are some ideas on what you can do daily to keep yourself sane (and have a little fun while you’re at it!)
✔ Play with your kids or dog every day
✔ Make your bed every day
✔ Get outside for 15 minutes every day
✔ Drink water every day
✔ Dance every day

Let’s focus on what we can control. Struggling to make it through this?  You are not alone.  Feel free to share and to reach out (414) 881-7401.

Feeling your feelings.
