HOW TO HANDLE A "BAD" DAY


"THE ROOT OF ALL SUFFERING IS ATTACHMENT." ~ Buddah
Today was my day off. I was looking forward to it all week. With no clients scheduled, no networking meetings, and no hours needed from me at the Spa desk, I was free to self-indulge. And oh boy was I excited! I had an vision in my head...an outline if you will, of how I was planning out my day.
A quiet morning of coffee & Pilates, then off to the tattoo shop for some spontaneous fresh ink, and an afternoon with a fellow soul sister. I was ready for R&R with a side of sass! 
My quiet morning alone, quickly turned into puppy madness when a good friend was in need of a dog sitter for a couple of hours. The tattoo artist was due in at 12:30pm...but did not show up until 2pm. After two hours of waiting, and being told "any minute now", I finally walked out. My afternoon of bonding, turned into a party of 1, when my girlfriend's morning commitment ran late. And so, here I sit...solo and tattoo-less. LOL But..laughing! I must laugh. And I must remember, as quickly as I wish to label this a "bad day," it isn't. Nothing tragic occurred. Not even a little bit.
What has happened though, is that I grew an attachment to a made-up idea of how today was "suppose" to go. Something I have not done in a while. I used to be the queen of planning, but over the years I have morphed into much more of a "roll with it" kinda gal. I find that watching my day unfold exactly how it unfolds, is a gift. Trying to control my minutes spent on Earth gets exhausting. However, today, I most ceretaintly lost my free-flowing way about me, and truly swam against the current as this particular day "didn't go right."
Welllllll, cheers. Raising my glass of Kombuccha and saying, "Here's to tonight! Let's see what happens!"
And THAT is how you handle a bad day...by realizing, it's just an illusion.
RELEASE & FLOW.

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...

ARE YOU AN INTUITIVE EMPATH?

SIGNS YOU ARE "AN INTUITIVE EMPATH" 1) You can feel other people's emotions, but you have full awareness that they are not your own. 2) You can see beyond a person's feelings and instinctively understand the larger picture and what's truly behind their emotions. 3) You often help others better understand their own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. 4) You are typically everyone's "go-to" for counseling & advice in your daily routine. 5) You are naturally hyper-sensitive. 6) You physically cannot stand to witness suffering in others. 7) You may not be comfortable in large groups, as all that energy is overwhelming. 8) Physical symptoms appear after emotionally intense situations. 9) You are basically a human lie detector. 10) You grow uncomfortable around those that are being inauthentic.
