Thought You Were Ready but It Still Sucks

It can be hard to see s#*t coming your way and be ready for it.

In fact, you might have a good idea of what is coming but still not be able to hold yourself together against the wave of emotions or unexpected spinoffs from the challenges hitting you.

When that happens:

  • Find someone to talk to. Don’t go at it alone.
  • Take some time to disconnect from your busy life, whether it be to read, listen to music, or simply walk it out.
  • Don’t make any major life decisions while in the middle of a downturn in your life.
  • Write out your thoughts, feelings, concerns.
  • Remember, this will pass. The sun will come out after the rain.

A friend has always been a lifesaver when I’ve hit bottom. See, the great thing is that when you connect with someone they can often help you remember some of the other things listed here.

5 Quote Images to Reconnect You with What Matters to You Today

There’s a reason I’m listening to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV in the background as a sit here writing you. I’m waiting for niece to show up there. She is playing in a marching band for one of ten schools chosen nationwide to play this year in New York City.

Being an expat and living practically most of my life away from my home has disconnected me from many of the traditions of my country of birth.

Moving back with my children, to live around my family now, has made me so thankful for them. We can sometimes FORGET how blessed we are, unless we have simple REMINDERS to reconnect us to those special things.

Thanksgiving is one of those awesome holidays that can reconnect us to what is important in life if we LET IT.

I was talking with someone yesterday and they told me about the disappointment their son has experienced. He is married and has begun celebrating Thanksgiving with at wife’s family’s home. Unlike his family, they do not have a tradition of talking about or REFLECTING on what they are thankful for.

I hope that is not the case for you and your loved ones. TALK about what you are thankful for, even if it’s just for a MOMENT in your day or over dinner TODAY.

[shareable text=”Abe Stone”]It’s the moments of GRATITUDE that attract more of what you want into your life.[/shareable]

The parade is understandably a big event for my sister, her husband, and their daughter, but the most beautiful thing is seeing their closeness and support of each other.

I’m thankful for my family!

I’m thankful for YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy and share online as you remind yourself and others of the good we are all remembering at this important time of year.

How to MOVE past obstacles you feel POWERLESS to get over

It’s frustrating when something happens TO YOU, or worse yet someone DOES something to you and you’re stuck, you don’t KNOW what to do. You might not like this but it comes down to what you BELIEVE about that situation.

In the past I’ve actually been stuck for days trying to figure out what to do, because I felt that the other person had the CONTROL or the circumstances were impossible to go against.

Feeling powerless just plain sucks. So, what can you do to get past an obstacle you feel powerless to overcome?  Taking is RESPONSIBILITY is one simple way to CHANGE this belief.

Responsibility for what? Watch the video to find out.

Take care,

Abe

P.S.  I’m going strong on Instagram. Definitely join me.

Investing Time in You

With you, my reader, as my main focus, my goal here at CRW has always been to provide the content and tools that are most helpful to YOU.

As I’ve interacted with many of you over past couple of years there have been a few themes that have been coming up regularly. Rather than continuing to post a little here and there on these topics, I decided pick one and put together a practical how to course for you.

The course will help you learn to MANAGE the challenging relationships in your life, discover new ways to COMMUNICATE and CLEAR out some of the negative energy you may be facing in some of your interactions with others, and become a more EFFECTIVE and happier COMMUNICATOR.

[shareable cite=”Abe Stone”]become a more EFFECTIVE and happier COMMUNICATOR[/shareable]

Making TIME TO WORK on this and get it to as soon as possible is now my PRIORITY. To do this I will be putting a pause to my regular video posts, and begin posting shorter posts every week or even twice a week. (you may have noticed this shift already last week) 🙂

I want to HEAR FROM YOU. Please tell, what is one of the biggest COMMUNICATION challenges you feel is weighing you down and taking the JOY out of your RELATIONSHIPS with family, friends, lovers, children, or even work colleagues?

Come over and let’s talk about it on Facebook. COMMENT on the link below:
