When you feel you are in the thick of
things, tapping into your own inner resources will help bring strength. When we are “in the thick of it,” overwhelmed
by too many things that need our attention, it’s important to remember that
we are never given more than we can handle. When life’s challenges make us
question this, our best coping mechanism is to follow the reliable and
well-known course to our calm center and anchor ourselves there. It is for
these times that we have been practicing regularly, so that our mind, body,
and spirit will know how to find the peace within. Even in the midst of
seeming chaos, a deep breath can help us turn within to find the space to
work from — the calm at the center of the storm. Tapping into our inner resources we begin
again, bringing our focus to the needs of the present moment. Asking “why?”
shifts our energy away from the task at hand. We can seek answers to those
questions once we get to the other side of the present challenge. For now, we
accept what is. Once we have collected scattered energy and created space,
inspiration will strike, help will arrive, and what seemed impossible will
either become possible or we will find it has become unnecessary. The flow of
the universe and its perfect order has room to move in our lives when we get
ourselves and our extraneous thoughts out of the way. After the thick has become thin again, we
have the opportunity to learn from the situation with a better idea of our
true capabilities. We can now ask ourselves the “why” questions with the goal
of fine-tuning our lives. Perhaps we have taken on more than is ours to do or
made commitments out of obligation rather than insight. It could just be the
ebb and flow of life, or we may be receiving life lessons on a fast track in
preparation for something wonderful to come. But when we have a chance to
make new choices, we know the best ones are made when we work from the
center. |
