You Don’t Have To Do This Alone!!

Once again, about 1.5 months into this social distance lock-down, there is a ton going on in the world right now. Schools are closed, jobs are being cut, businesses are being lost, the future is uncertain. All of these things are enough to create anxiety, then add the everyday worries.

Here’s your gentle reminder that not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry. You don’t have to go this alone.

I believe we can all gain from talking to someone when things get rough. And it’s definitely rough out there right now.

If things are weighing you down right now, call me to see if I can help.

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?

If you are having troubles identifying your true emotions or have someone you care about that may need some assistance, please feel free to pass on my #, (414) 881-7401, or my web page. www.alwaysabetteryou.com

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.
