Breaking Through Doubts and Fear
What can we do to enjoy what we have to the fullest TODAY? I find what helps is to schedule fun time. Book the tennis match and put it in the calendar, call your best friend and schedule girls’ night out. Add it to the calendar. We want to be as diligent
Last week you read about my breakdown, when I buckled under self-imposed pressure. I shared with you what it feels like for me when I hit the wall going my signature 180 miles per hour. I contemplated giving up and that is so not like me.
In this article I want to share with you what the methods are that I use to pull myself out of a funk and through my dark tunnels. I've designed a method that I call K.A.R.L. that is my trusted helper and the one man I rely on no matter what.
Step 1: KNOW
Using the first letter of K.A.R.L. we take a step back and give the situation as much of an objective look as we can. We need to be (honestly) aware of what's going on. Was I overworked - yes. Was I taking care of myself - no. Was I having any fun - no. Instead, I realized that I had put so much pressure on myself that I was destined to crash and burn or fail or do all of the above. I called in the troops and got support from my girlfriends. I had a conversation with a male friend about figuring out more "male" ways to get through this. (Being a man, he tried to "fix" things and it only made the situation worse.) Everything that could be done had been done and nothing helped. I was at a standoff with myself.
Step 2: ACCEPT
The truth is, we don't get to this difficult place by accident and we often do it to ourselves. We may push or force the issue because for some reason we think that unless it can be resolved right now, something horrible is going to happen. The disaster movie unfolds. Especially women can be masters at letting this scenario play out endlessly. If I can't come up with the tagline for my project, I will not be ready for the next team meeting. If I am not ready we have nothing to talk about. I am wasting everyone's time and it's costly to have a team of seven sit around and do nothing. And on it goes. What if we distance ourselves and look at it dispassionately? What if this doesn't get done today? If the paper, the load of laundry, the dishes, the difficult phone call, or that meeting was postponed, in my case the tagline can't be identified quite yet, would that be so bad?
The worst-case scenario was that things would be delayed. Finally it dawned on me that sometimes we have to walk away to get back to recreating a creative environment and mindset so that we can move forward.
Step 3: RELAX
If it can't be done right now, then we may as well relax. Because that is the fastest way to get the juices going again. The pressure needs to be released first. Time to find an activity or place that will get us back to our essence, our conscious selves. For me it was a visit to my church, to get a spiritual mid-week fix from Agape and Rev. Michael Beckwith. What I heard that evening was exactly what I needed. I arrived early so I could meditate, quiet my mind and open up so I could receive. That evening it was all about transformation. Transforming means that you go in one way but you come out a different way. It is not possible to transform without a change. I had to allow this change to take place without judgment and without pushing.
Step 4: LIVE
The final letter L stands for Live. We know what is going on now, we accepted what we can't change, we relax into our situation and finally we recognize that me may as well get back to our regular lives. Let's be here in the present right now. Let us live today, not in the future and not the past, but today. You may have heard before that the path is the reward, not necessarily the destination. What can we do to enjoy what we have to the fullest TODAY? I find what helps is to schedule fun time. Book the tennis match and put it in the calendar, call your best friend and schedule girls' night out. Add it to the calendar. We want to be as diligent about our fun time as we are about our work.
It dawned on me that I had only scheduled activities related to work, but nothing that would elevate me personally. With my K.A.R.L. mindset back on track, I started to take action to make the changes that would bring me back to me. My recent trip to Chicago to spend a weekend with my daughter did the trick. I had dinner with a childhood friend, took a long, lovely walk in Millennium Park, saw a play and relished a serious mom-daughter love infusion, all of which made me feel like myself again. Funny enough - I could write again.
What do you do when you need to get yourself back to your more relaxed version? Please share, I always love to hear your tips, we all need a little help sometimes.
