Get down on it

But not in the way of Kool & The Gang.

This week has been a solid, *womp womp*. Not in the sense of a bunch of ‘bad’ things having happened but in the sense of everything that I set out to work on just flopped.

A bunch of tiny little speed bumps all in a row to really require me to slow down.

I was starting to get really really down on myself by Thursday. I was disappointed. Sad even.

Instead of having excitement baked into my projects, I was starting to feel stressed instead.

“I should have the walls all spackled by now.” “Why aren’t the basement stairs sanded yet?” “I’m behind in my meditation practice” “I’ve missed a few days blogging”

Then came in the full on car tire screech sound effect. Those thoughts, those vibes. Is not what this is all for.

Joy. Happiness. Authenticity. Connection. These are the rooted whys behind the projects that I take on and am inspired by.

So let’s get down on the disconnect; my brain wasn’t flexing it’s flexibility muscles. I straight up just forgot my ‘whys’ throughout the week. And mostly, I forgot that LIFE HAPPENS. Husbands get sick. Wives enter their luteal phase extra sleepy. Toddlers want to snuggle. It just all happens, some times all on the same week.

Repair? Reassess and start again. Simple. Without the name calling to myself. Without should-ing myself into a paralyzed state. Just start over, in the magic, again.

Trust that Kool & The Gang will carry me away, back to deeply rooted whys.
