I love writing these newsletters so before surgery I thought:
"Of course I'm going to want to write one the week of my surgery."
I was wrong. It is pretty uncomfortable sitting at this desk. Oops.
My 1st thought:
I have to get a newsletter out. I've been doing them every week.
2nd thought:
It has to be a really good one since the last ones have been so cancer focused.
3rd thought:
Ouch!!! I want to get out of this desk chair soon.
4th thought:
Remember your Mantra! "The only wrong path is the one that isn't me!"
5th thought:
Oh yeah! Duh! I don't have to do anything I don't feel up to. I make my rules. The people who read these ARE my kind of people AND they will totally understand.
6th thought:
Ya know, being transparent about this may actually be a cool and helpful thing to share with the awesome people who read this.
So here it is friends! How I went from a moment of stress and pressure to smiling and being proud of past Autumn for putting that Mantra in place...in 6 thoughts.
Challenge:
Create your Mantra that will help you make that pivot.
