Imagine going off on a sunny tropical vacation only three days later to find out your best friend passed away suddenly in her sleep.

This was my reality 10 years ago. The anger, disbelief, loss that flew through my body for the months and years ahead could have destroyed me if I let it.

It happens to the best of us. A jam packed busy weekend leaving little or no time or energy to plan for the week, a rough start to the morning (hello snooze button) or a day that’s gone topsy turvey.

Life doesn’t always go to plan and that happens. It’s totally normal.

When life throws you a curve ball, and it will - I have the perfect remedy for you.

If you forgot to plan out your day, you can always come back to this super simple but mighty tip to keep you feeling calm, peaceful and on track towards accomplishing your goals.

In today’s video, you’ll learn my top tip for what to focus on when you haven’t planned out your day.

Imagine you’re out for a sunny Sunday stroll, enjoying the birds chirping, butterflies fluttering and listening to your favorite audiobook.

You turn a corner and what was a seemingly peaceful walk instantly turns to panic. You have milliseconds to choose how you’re going to respond.

As a mentor of mine says, “Run straight at your fear.” A few days ago, one of my fears was running straight at me.

A woman screaming and yelling for her dog who got loose.... a huge German Shepherd beelining straight towards me. ? It was terrifying to say the least.

In these quick moments of chaos, what do you do? More importantly, how do you choose the best way to respond in a short amount of time?

Ever feel “not enough?” Maybe you hear yourself saying out loud or thinking to yourself…

“I don’t have enough time…”
Or while you’re eating, “I don’t feel full or satisfied enough…”
Or you hit the snooze button more than 2x because you feel you haven’t had enough sleep or rest

Ever had a friend, family member or stranger ask you a very personal question about religion, politics or personal medical decisions you’ve made for you and your family?

Maybe your palms start sweating, thoughts start racing and anxiety floods your brain and body because you feel put on the spot or like you’re being judged.

Maybe you have no idea how to respond? If so, you’re not alone.

Imagine waking up with only 20 minutes to get dressed, eat breakfast and get out the door etc…

Squeezing every last second out of sleep, barely having time for yourself to get ready or prepared, feeling discombobulated and unorganized…

Ever feel like you’re drained, depleted, like there’s no life left in you? You keep running the same routines day in and day out and don’t feel like you’re making a significant impact in the world?

Did you know choosing your thoughts is like picking out produce. If you pick a moldy orange, you can put it back and grab another one.

The same is true for thoughts.

Ever feel like you don’t have time for you or your self-care?

I hear it all the time from women and moms. They’re trying to balance their self-care, wellness and work and end up feeling like they don’t have time to squeeze in their own needs.

I get it! And I want to encourage you to look at self-care from a different lens.

Ever feel guilty for taking time for you or your self-care? Whether it’s eating, taking a bath, saying no to a friend or family member, reading alone…

Let’s face it - doing anything for yourself uninterrupted.

If so, you’re not alone. In fact, emotions of guilt are a pretty common feeling that bubbles up to the surface almost daily for women.
