Waiting can be agonizing. Or it could be a relief.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post because I’ve been going through some personal issues. In the last few months, I’ve had to do a lot of running around. I felt relief when the process was done, but now I’m waiting to hear from another party. 

The main issue with waiting for others is that things are not in my control. It’s one thing to be running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to achieve something. It’s quite another thing to be waiting for someone else to take action. 

So what do we do, so we don’t go crazy? 

• Accept that the situation is not in your control. True acceptance will calm your mind. 
• Get back into your routine. You may have missed paying some bills. Do your food shopping. Get back into your cleaning routine. 
• Return to your lifestyle. What was your life like before you started running  in circles?  Did you enjoy reading, walking, cooking? Get back to that.
• Indulge in your guilty pleasures. I love to sprawl on the couch and watch my favorite shows while eating ice cream. Whatever takes your mind South, do it.

The idea is to return to your life. If you have built a life based on your values, then you have joy. Get back to that. Whatever you’re waiting for will come at the right time. Believe that and keep moving! 

You’ll be glad you did!
