Ways to cope with the unexpected …

A new season. A new chapter. The theme of this season has already emerged. Be un-fudging stoppable !

The end of last season summed up with several pieces of unrelated, unexpected news, which would definitely affect my future plans. So, I took a step back. Reflected and checked back in with how to deal with the new world view. Once I had gotten over the initial WTF moments – of which there were many – I was conscious that I had to seem normal in front of the children. The Frenchman was amazing and super supportive, but he couldn’t fix the situation for me. This was all for me to figure out. So, what have I been doing? Mind-set shifting the muthafudga out of this !! LOL ! These situations WILL improve. When I feel myself going down a rabbit hole of WTF doom, I jump on it and replace the internal chatter with a specific mantra:

Universe show me the open doors of opportunity. I am open, I am ready.

Sprinkles of inspiration are trickling through. Remember this is all happening, whilst trying to run two businesses and be ultra-Mama to the mini humans [constantly battling my eternal nemesis what on earth am I going to make them for dinner ? FFS! ]  These are all great grounders and normalisers. Being a working mother in this situation has been a lifeline, I’m too busy to overthink and overanalyse the situation.  So, my working SuperMum goals for this season are:

  1. Be a fantabulous working mere extraordinaire
  2. Be present for my children
  3. Be grateful to the Frenchman
  4. Be grateful of everything

In the words of the great Marie Forleo: Everything is Figureoutable.  What situation do you need to look at with fresh eyes ? Remember, stay out of the rabbit hole. Have your fix-it mantra ready. We can do this ! Xx
