Stop Struggling!

What word do you end that sentence with? Stop Struggling with “blah blah blah”… pick one.

You want to know why you struggle?

Are you ready for this?

Because you do (sigh).

Didn’t ya just know it was your fault?

But hey – it’s a little more complex than that.

Look – we all know life isn’t fair and all that stuff is totally true.

But to struggle with it? — That part is actually up to you.

Sound harsh? It isn’t.

No matter how much we struggle with something, we do have a choice about how we respond.

Now, if you are not in touch with your feelings, you won’t realize you do – have a choice that is.

How can you move to “choice”?

It’s easier than you think.

It has to do with the Story you are telling yourself.

So – my husband and I sometimes struggle with being apart – he’s in Florida almost full time and I’m in NYC mostly full time and we see each other on weekends or weeks here and there that I get away. The reasons for it is because his work has drawn him there and my work is in the Big App (me and FL full time? Not for me – I’m a city girl)… Anyway… I can tell myself a story that it’s a major bummer, or I can tell myself how lucky I am to have a gorgeous house in Florida and an awesome husband who doesn’t let it tear us apart and loves me to pieces. Do you see how this goes? Hey – it’s pretty cool to have 2 lifestyles – sure is awesome in the freaking NYC winter ;)

It’s all how you look at it and the STORY you tell yourself about it.

I can choose to struggle or not based on how I see it.

6 Ways to Stop Struggling NOW!

  1. Inventory Your Beliefs – what do you really think? And what rules your brain?
  2. Choose A Perspective That Works for You – Too often we choose a perspective that we’re used to – not necessarily that works for us.
  3. Make a Plan to Make it Better – Whatever you are struggling with, make a plan for how to make it better.
  4. Realize That Struggle is a Choice – Free yourself from your conditioned responses.
  5. Decide to Be Successful and see life working out just the way you want it – when you do that, you become successful.
