Almost crashed out in the break room……
because how was I going to carry my coffee to my office, all alone.
I’ve been surrendering and leaning in to asking for help (which is so hard for me. Do you understand my profession?)
I practice what I preach- so I lean on others around to me. I’ve allowed myself to ask for help and not feel guilty. It’s amazed me how kind, caring, and loving others can be when you’re not afraid to lean in and be vulnerable.
Today hit me when no one was around for a moment to help. The negative thoughts came pouring in when I couldn’t do something. I mean, I literally NEED coffee.
So instead of getting trapped in the negativity or swept away by the emotions, I used the skills I’ve been sharing with you on my stories.
1) throw a wrench in the thought pattern. My go to lately has been “that’s not true”. It makes me question the reality of the negative thoughts instead of believing that everything my mind has to say is true or the only way to see it.
2) reframe. Reframe the thoughts. See it in a different way. My brain mocked me when my coffee cup said “wild and free” on it and I can’t even carry it. I thought- I’m not wild or free! 🆓 so then I came in with that wrench and said “that’s not true”. I am pretty wild. Free… that feels relative right now. So i reframed the situation. Instead of carrying my cup down to my office, I sat in the break room and chilled. Here I am making a social media post. Turned negativity into sweet productivity.
Stay tuned on my stories and post as I continue to share about my broken leg journey. Sorry, it’s all I got right now. When inspiration hits!
