What Is The Universe Telling You?
Do you ever have those weeks? The kind where nothing seems to go right no matter what you do, and it's only Wednesday? Monday doesn't start off bad, and you would think it might, just because it's the first day after the weekend. Then come Tuesday, and it all goes downhill and very quickly. The more you try to fix things, the faster it goes astray.
By the time you get to Wednesday, you are completely spent.These kind of weeks usually occur when nothing even really big happens. It could be you run late for something early in the morning, and then it throws off the rest of the day. Your internet keeps going in and out. So you call the internet company just to be on the phone with them for an hour and not resolving the issue.
Or maybe you're on a deadline and you keep getting farther behind. You're on the verge of tears, a meltdown, or a breakdown. At this point, you can't tell which one. All you want to do is either sleep the day away, take a hot bath, or get a much needed massage. Unfortunately, you can't do any of those.
What do you do when this happens? First, take a breath. When you're worn out, frustrated, or annoyed, it's easy to get completely wrapped up in the emotions. Then your mind shuts down, it's almost as though your brain stops working properly. So take a deep, deep breath. Take a moment to regain your faculties.
Next, don't panic. This is the easiest thing to do. You gut reaction is to panic, because things aren't going according to plan. Think of all the things in your life that haven't gone according to plan. Eventually, they've all worked themselves out, and this will too. Don't panic about it, because like everything... this too shall pass.
You can do this. Even if things don't go as planned, you can still be productive, because there are always things that need to be done. If it's not going right today or something keeps you from doing what you need to do (internet being down, computer not working, something wasn't delivered), think ahead a little. Do today what you would normally do tomorrow. Then tomorrow you can do what you wanted to get done today. Rearrange your schedule and make it work
Finally, listen carefully. What is God (the universe, spirit, whomever or whatever you believe) trying to tell you? We get so caught up in what we want, the way we want, when we want it, and how we want it, we forget that it's not supposed to happen like that. That maybe you aren't supposed to get that job, because a better one is coming your way. Maybe that relationship isn't supposed to work out, because you are meant to meet someone so much more spectacular. Maybe you didn't get it in time for your deadline, so someone would create it to look even better bringing in more clients.
Listen to what's going on around you and what's been told to you. If you don't listen to the whispers, they become louder until they are bricks. When you realize this is how it's supposed to be, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the process. When things don't go right, take a break, spend time with your kids, or do something fun. Get your mind off of it, so when you go back to it, you can think much clearer. Then it will all come to you.
And remember, this just adds a dimension to your story. It makes you more interesting. Something you endured, overcame, or thrived in spite of. Things were frustrating and you fought the battle and not only survived but thrived! When you think it's too much, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and say, "I can do this," and then you will!
