I was asked a great question today. What are my struggles this week? At first, a million things came to mind, my daughter doesn't want to listen to me, work has been crazy busy, I don't have enough time for myself, and I am sure I could find at least another 10 things I struggled today.
I started to think about this word and to me struggle means hardship, frustration, sometimes not knowing what's next.(I really should look up and see what the dictionary says. Perhaps, in the morning )
I realized that I haven't struggled today, I have been dealing with life, having fun, almost crying a couple of times, working hard and creating new projects for my workshops, playing at the beach, watching really bad kids cartoons and making puzzles.
It's about how you approach what's in front of you. If you see it as a struggle, you will create more struggle, if you see it as a problem, you will be problem solving all day possibly without any results.
Maybe I am crazy but I don't mind dealing with tantrums, doing the dishes, paying bills, listening to my friends complain without giving any advice. Struggle? Sometimes. When I see myself stressed, I know I am in a struggle mode. All I have to do is take a deep breath, close my eyes and meditate for few minutes or hours if I have the luxury, clear everyone's demand for my attention out of my space and then a miracle happens. I realize that I don't really have any problems, I am simply dealing with life and all the surprises it brings us every day. I chose Not Struggle for the time being. I am sure I will switch to struggle mode at some point tomorrow and hope I will be aware of it.
