You have those days where things just work, the kids are miraculously organised, washing is in, dinner is in the slow cooker, you have everything you need for the after-school sporting activities. It’s those days when the right songs come on on the way to work and you sing your heart out. You set yourself up for a great day as you fill yourself full of positive energy. Then the meeting you had planned is a cracker, the emails you get are all good news and everything is right with the world…

Then you have those days when everything has turned to shit, when you’re late, the kids are asking stupid question after stupid question and they can’t find their sodding shoes that you literally fall over – FFS, the washing machine decides not to start, you’re out of milk and the client you’ve been itching to see for two fucking months, cancels your long-awaited meeting because “something came up”. Silent scream!!!!

It’s a continual balance of good and bad, and that my friend is what we call life.

But I’ve noticed something… The days when it all works, I’m relaxed, I’m in my own skin. I’m me. When things are turning to a nasty shade of brown it’s because I’m trying so hard to be everything to everyone and the universe is literally against me… I’m repelling natural order.

Those days when the world is evil and wrong are days when I can feel the anger like a rubber ball in my gut sitting there waiting for me to bounce. Sometimes I do…

Learning to control the urge to bounce is the challenge. Everything we do is learned behaviour. We’ve been taught how to handle a situation based on a previous response or outcome. So if we learnt how to react, perhaps we can retrain ourselves not to get the urge to bounce and instead turn up the music and get into the groove of a better day, what if we can manifest those good days simply by consciously changing the way we react.

I’m here to tell you it’s possible, you can, it’s not even hard, it just needs you to switch the channel. You’ll still have some shit days because that’s just life, but you get to choose how shit it is. Bonus!

See we’re here as who we are on earth for a shift, you can either have a crap shift where time drags, everything is hard work and you can’t wait to get out of here, or you can love it all, love the process and relish in the journey, sometimes that journey has some unexpected twists, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it’s just unplanned. Roll with the punches I say.
