Ready To Pull Your Hair Out?

I know the feeling... Things just aren't lining up the way you want them to. They
aren't falling into place as you had hoped. Or maybe it's not happening fast enough. I am sure we all experience this from time to time. So what should you do?
The first thing I do is to change my mindset. When I feel myself getting frustrated or when I start to feel the anticipation coming on, I find it is best to stop and remember that my agenda is not always the best agenda. Everything happens for a reason and the Universe has a perfect schedule in mind even if it doesn't always feel that way to us.
Sometimes it is necessary to just stop the frustration, or the anticipation, or whatever you would describe the feeling as, and look at the bigger picture. When we try to force things to happen according to what we want and our schedules, we are missing the full picture. The Universe holds more knowledge than we can ever imagine from our own limited point of view. Sometimes we just need to surrender, let go, and know that all is as it should be. When the time is right, it will happen, and if it doesn't than that is also right. That is not an easy thing to accept oftentimes, however when you do embrace that thought, you will experience a sense of peace.
When I change my mindset and allow in that belief that all is as it should be and that the Universe knows what is best, I immediately am able to release the tightness in my body and let go of the stress. Doing so also allows you to get in a flow with life so that you are no longer fighting an uphill battle, and instead you are flowing with the beautiful stream of life. For more information about getting in the flow, you can also sign up for one of my free teleclasses called Get In The Flow. Just go to: www.FaithsTeleclasses.com for more info.

5 Tips For Stressed-Out Moms
Friday, May 9th, 2008 3:05 AM
Being a mom certainly comes with its stresses, so this Mother's Day, make sure you take care of you! As mothers, we often try
to be "Super Moms." We give and give and do and do, and sometimes we wonder when someone will give to or do for us. This mother's day, continue to give and do, but this time, give to and do for yourself. Remember to nurture yourself so that you can be all that you have to be for those little ones who need you so much. Here are some tips to help manage your stress:
1) Tell yourself that motherhood is all about the journey. It is an uphill battle when you push against the natural flow of life and motherhood. Stop, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders and jaw (the 2 places where most stress is held), and just “allow.” You will then find the stress dissolving. Be in the present moment with your kids and remember that this moment is all you really have. This can help put things into perspective when you are ready to fly off the handle.
2) Ask yourself, “Would this matter if I were to die in five minutes?” That may seem
harsh, but it helps put things in perspective. Stress can be managed by controlling your thoughts, so the more you ask yourself thought-provoking questions like these, the more you will be able to see what really matters. When you are thinking in terms of what really matters, you will naturally let the stress go.
3) Focus on solutions, not problems. Did you ever notice that when you focus on the problems, you dig yourself deeper into overwhelm and frustration? On the other hand, when you focus on creating solutions, the problem will rectify itself much easier. This also sets a very good example for your kids in handling problems that come up in their lives because they will learn to not just get lost in the problem and to come up with solutions that will easily solve their problems before those problems stress them out.
4) Know your limit. Take some time beforehand to determine your breaking
point. Instead of being caught off-guard when high levels of stress hit, develop a plan to reverse that path beforehand. That way, when you feel stress coming, you can bring yourself back to center before your world crashes around you.
5) Give yourself some extra padding. You have a better foundation to live from when you are well rested and cared for and you will naturally handle stress with more ease. Make it a habit to take time to nurture and care for yourself. You can only care for those little ones when you are well-cared for yourself! This is so important!
