Feeling out of bounds? Running out of time? Feeling overwhelmed? Feeling out of line?

If any of that applies to you then welcome to the club. You're not alone. During times of intense stress and anxiety, things can get bleak, dark, dreary, and grey very quick. You need something to shake things up in order to maintain your sense of purpose and also your sense of sanity. Well I have just the thing (or three things rather) to help you out because like Andre 3000 you know I got your back like chiroprac...tic!1) Plan something to look forward to. Life wouldn't be very awesome if there wasn't anything to strive toward so plan the prize to keep your eye on while you battle the imminent forces life presents you. This way when you feel defeated or spread like butter across too much bread like my boy Bilbo, you have that motivation to carry on solider!2) Give yourself permission to be good enough. We put an enormous amount of pressure on ourselves to be perfect all the time in our society and that is overwhelming in and of itself. Do not fall victim to this popular mindset as it is a one way ticket to the Hotel California where you can check-out any time you like but you can never leave! Instead, give yourself permission to be good enough as is because you know what? YOU ARE! Now come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!3) Treat yourself. I'm pretty sure I've said this in a previous blog and for good reason! Tom and Donna were really onto something in Parks and Recreation and you should tap into this goldmine of validation and confidence boosting! Rewarding yourself for all your hard work in persevering through the ebb and flow of life is what it's all about! So TREAT YO SELF 2016 baby!Now for those of you who were paying attention...name all the song lyrics and movie references laced throughout this blog and reward yourself for being awesome and observant!Until next time reader...live long and prosper!Cheers!
