You can’t skip to the good part

Happy Sacred Sunday!

Recently I had one of those days where my brain kept leaping into the future, offering me scenarios about how my life (and my kids’ lives) could unfold if I headed in one direction or another.

Throughout the day I experienced that tight feeling in my chest, where you want to crawl out of your body.

Welcome to that yucky emotion we call anxiety.

A part of me wanted to find a distraction to ignore the feeling. Cue: anybody want to binge watch sex and the city and eat popcorn?

Do you ever long for the day to pass in hopes that tomorrow you’ll feel differently than you do right now?

I get it.

There are days I want to simply skip to the good part.

This week on the podcast, I talk about how often we want to fast-forward our life. But the problem with that behavior is that if you spend your days trying to skip to the good parts, you’ll miss your life in the process.

So, on this day I didn’t try to bypass or ignore the discomfort.

I noticed the feelings, acknowledged them, and stopped resisting them.

And I decided that those feelings could come along for the ride in my life, but I wasn’t going to let them drive the car nor was I going to jump out of my moving vehicle to get away from them.

I also realized that even on days like this, you can still be productive, mindful and intentional about moving through life. That’s why this week’s podcast isn’t just about emotions — it’s about what to do when you catch yourself drifting. I share 3 small, practical strategies that help me stay in the driver’s seat of my life even when my thoughts try to take the wheel.

I hope this episode meets you right where you are — and helps you come back home to the moment you’re in. Because no matter what you’re looking forward to in the future, the only moment you can actually live is the one you’re experiencing right now.

Sending you lots of love on this sacred Sunday,
