How to Keep Your Shit Together

How to Keep Your Shit Together When the World Goes Crazy

Hey there, fellow warriors of life!

It seems like chaos is the new normal, doesn’t it? With everything going topsy-turvy and money feeling like it’s slipping through our fingers, it’s easy to feel like we’re on a rollercoaster with no brakes. But fear not, my friends! We’re in this wild ride together, and I’ve got some tips and tricks up my sleeve to help us keep our cool amidst the chaos.

Tip: Find Your Anchor

In the stormy seas of life, it’s crucial to find something that grounds you. Whether it’s a daily meditation practice, a walk-in nature, or simply spending quality time with loved ones, having an anchor can help you stay steady when everything else feels like it’s swirling out of control.

“You can’t calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.” 

Timber Hawkeye

This quote hits home, doesn’t it? It reminds us that while we can’t control the chaos around us, we have full control over how we react to it. So instead of getting swept away, let’s take a deep breath, find our centre, and ride out the storm with grace and resilience.

Tip: Focus on What You Can Control

When it feels like the world is spinning out of control, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the things we can’t change. Instead of getting bogged down by what’s beyond our grasp, shift your focus to what you can control. Maybe it’s setting a budget, upskilling yourself for better job opportunities, or simply taking care of your physical and mental health. Small actions in areas we can control can have a big impact on our overall well-being.

“You cannot control the world outside, but you can choose what you bring into your life.”

Kamand Kojouri

Let’s take this quote to heart, my friends. We may not be able to control the chaos outside, but we can control our reactions, our mindset, and the energy we allow into our lives.

Tip: Practice Gratitude

In the midst of chaos, it’s easy to forget about the little blessings that surround us every day. Take a moment each day to reflect on what you’re grateful for. It could be as simple as a warm cup of coffee in the morning, a roof over your head, or a kind word from a friend. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help shift your perspective from scarcity to abundance, even when times are tough.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” 

Melody Beattie

Let’s embrace the power of gratitude, my fellow warriors. Even in the midst of chaos, there is so much to be thankful for.

So, there you have it, my friends. A few tips to help us keep our shit together when the world feels like it’s falling apart. Remember, we’re all in this together, and together, we can weather any storm that comes our way. Stay strong, stay resilient, and keep shining bright amidst the chaos.
