#69: Trusting the Process When Life Doesn't Make Sense"
In this Monday Mindset Episode, I am talking about how to find a way to trust the process when life doesn’t make sense.
When we are in the midst of challenges piled on challenges, it’s easy to get stuck in the “why questions”, the overwhelm and the frustrations. Others tell us to “trust the process and have faith”, yet it can feel almost impossible when we are in the thick of it. I have been and, on some level, continue to be challenged to put my lessons into practice in my life. Today I am sharing 6 tips that I find helpful while life just doesn’t seem to make sense!
In this episode we talk about:
1. Stop asking the questions that start with WHY. The word why is a victim word and it keeps us stuck in our stories. We must shift our questions to the word “what”, as that is an action word that keeps us in motion focusing on what we can control, change or fix within ourselves.
2. Ask the universe, “what is this trying to teach me?” We are forever learning lessons in our lives and what if this is here to help you with a lesson that you have yet to embody. We can learn all the lessons, read the books and listen to the podcasts, yet until we embody our lessons and put them into practice, we truly aren’t using them yet. That is when we learn.
3. Create a mantra to say to yourself, to ground yourself and keep you focused on what you can control!
4. Ask for help, don’t do it alone, stop hiding, and stop feeding the shame. This never works and only keeps us stuck in our shame. Creating your tribe is another podcast episode topic, for now reach out to ask for help and support with people who deserve to hear your story. It is not weakness. Vulnerability is an act of courage.
5. Time block your schedule to match energy with energy. The more we can keep ourselves grounded daily, focused on our “wheelhouse”, or area of expertise, matching energy in with energy out, the bigger the difference it can make in our own lives, especially during moments chaos!
6. Surrender, surrender, surrender. Letting go of what you cannot control is a sign of strength and will truly be the most freeing feeling you can imagine!
