June. What Do We Have Here?

Oh, June, what do we have here? What’s the vibe or the energy you are bringing to us? The world is restless and agitated. People are walking land mines and WE need to be aware of how we treat and approach people. We also need to be aware of our own restlessness and agitation as grocery, gas, and unemployment continue to rise. We have to choose our battles wisely this month as there will be many challenges of many things in our lives. So, the question begs to us,”How will I maintain or create safety and peace around me and within me?” Choose your battles wisely, once again. Is this worth my time and energy. Energy is expensive. And once you spend it on a stupid argument with a stranger on line you can’t get it back. Once you argue with your spouse about the shoes he or she continues to leave in the floor for the past 20 years, you can’t get that back. I would say start with asking yourself, “Is this thing, this person, worth my time and energy?” And maybe you are one of those people who love to go off or tell people off. I want you to consider people are dealing with things just like you are and they may take action in the midst of there uncontrolled reaction to your foolishness. Are you prepared for that?

Stress levels are high. For all us. I would suggest talking things out with a friend or therapist. Journaling. Turning your attention towards daily 10 minute walks, meditation, time in nature, or diving into a hobby. Let things die down and let yourself cool down. FOCUS on what you can control like your own responses and reactions. You can control what you do with your energy and time. Let these distractions pass right by you as you laser focus on other things that need to be done or taking care of yourself. The other day someone really reacting ignorantly with me. I was almost embarrassed but I realized I should be embarrassed for them as this was a public display of ego. I decided not to be embarrassed for them or myself. I also decided not to retaliate. I decided I had things to do at home like organizing my pantry/laundry room and I would rather spend time trying to figure that out. Their childish narcissistic behavior was not more important than my pantry/laundry and for some reason this makes me chuckle.

Take this month to learn something new or do something different. Start. Actually start on something instead of thinking about it, writing about it, wishing about it, researching about it. You have done enough of that. Here’s to June and staying out of the way of chaos and adapting to changes. Pivoting will be your super power this month.
