Too Much

I have experienced a couple of difficult and chaotic weeks. I have the wisdom and tools to avoid difficult and chaotic weeks. Is Mercury in retrograde? Is every planet in the Universe in retrograde? Has climate change thrown us into a heated frenzy? I’m thinking the extreme temperatures melted my spirit, perhaps my brain?  Was running back-and-forth or to-and-from air-conditioned dwellings helpful or just adding to my chaos? Or have the past couple of weeks just been TOO MUCH?

Apparently, influences of current astrological movements and extremely hot temperatures when deciding to move to a different state, planning a move, packing for such move, re-arranging a month-long trip to Central America before and during such move, and pretending to stay abreast with all other aspects of life with family and friends... IS TOO MUCH. Where is my toolbox full of coping strategies!

Missing deadlines, writing checks for incorrect amounts, hiding my ATM card from myself, losing car AND house keys in the same day, paper cuts, stubbed toes, and stomach aches were all it took for me to recognize it was TOO MUCH.

How do I recover? 

Slow down.

Drink more water.

Make lists. Be attentive not to lose my lists.

Accept my errors - seems “serial errors” as was pointed out to me.

Be forgiving for being forgetful, and kind to myself and others.

Brush off sarcasm. 

Let go of worrying about impressions. I know who I am.

Keep my sense of humor and appreciation of adventure.

Remember to meditate and meditate more!

Find my toolbox of tools and strategies. (maybe I packed it.)

In gratitude for my great life,

Wren
