Today, I am feeling super productive because I had several to do's on my list (predominately business tasks) and I am breezing right through them. I feel motivated and super charged, and I must admit I really love this feeling of accomplishment. So you ask, Romy, how is today different than most other days where you feel overwhelmed and behind before you even get started? Well, I went into this day feeling like I have ALL the time in the world, that I can get it all done with time to spare, and low and behold I did! I am pretty well versed about the Laws of Attraction and every time I put it to the test, it really works. I can see that it is my intention about things that impacts the outcome. I can see that you really have the power to mold your life and shape change, you just have to put your mind on the right track.
I know this sounds too simple, but it really works. And I don't know about you, but when I feel productive I am much happier and get even more done. I am definitely in my groove today (even with less than opitmal sleep) and I even have a work project tonight too, so by the time this is done Iw ill feel like a powerhouse. But, how do you employ this philosophy on those overwhelming days, the days when no matter how many hours there are and no matter how super human you think you are, there is no way you can get it all done. And you feel crappy and unmotivated and often give up. What do you do when you are in the thick of errands, business, mommy to do's, social commitments etc.? I am suggesting that you continually tell yourself that you DO have all the time in the world, as much time as you need to get it all done and pay attention to any shifts, see how/if you attract more time to yourself. I am also suggesting writing a MANAGEABLE to do list, with a reasonable amount of tasks to accomplish in a day, so you don't start out feeling behind before you even get started. Basically, I am saying lighten up on yourself, take a breath and appreciate whatever you get done, no matter how much or how little.
Until the next time,

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Do you long for your pre-mommy days? The time when you were footloose and fancy free--the late nights out with the girls and no early AM wake up calls? I certainly do! I mourn for the the loss of my freedom and accountability only to myself, the times when I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted to and had no one to count on me to play or make breakfast. Now don't get me wrong, I love my life and how connected and filled up my life is with a wonderful hubby and a great kid, but sometimes a girl just wants a little fun.
Well, earlier this week I had the opportunity to have a little unrestricted girl time--a real ladies night out--all dressed in black, out in a real city at happy hour time, signature cocktail in hand, and I must say it was a blast. All the girls looked smokin' hot (who would know that many of us were mom's in our 40's), the venue was spectacular with giant views of the city and then the real fun happened later in the evening when all of us broads torn up the dance floor. It was wonderful to see these beautiful women let their hair down and party like we did in our college days. We danced, we bumped, freaked and just let go--it was awesome! We were playful, free and inspired. And then the fun ensued with a night cap at the hotel bar and we even got hit on! And let's not forget the slumber party in the hotel room staying up until 3AM, giggling, sharing and reacapping the night. What a treat it was to sleep in until almost 9AM the next morning!
It has been a long time since I had a night like this and I highly recommend it. It allows you to feel free, sexy, and youthful and takes you out of the normal routine of mommy life. It reminds you of the fun you had in your youth, that you've still got it goin' on girlfriend, and that your life is in a different phase now and you have much to be grateful for. It helped me get in touch with a more dormant side of myself, let it out for a while and perhaps to remind me that my playful (hot mama) side is there whenever I need it.
Cheers Girlfriend,

Mommy's feeling Pissy today
Have you ever just been in an irritable mood just because (and not because Aunt Flo is visiting)? The kind of mood where everything and everyone annoys you? The kind of mood you just can't shake and you just feel unmotivated to get things done that day. Well that's how I feel today, sluggish, cranky and unmotivated. Maybe its due to the 100+ degrees heat outside, or maybe its because I had an intense therapy session last night that stirred up alot of stuff, or maybe its because my once thriving consulting business has taken a dramatic downturn and I am in the process of reinventing myself and it is moving very s-l-o-w-l-y. Who knows? But what I do know is that I've got so many things I want to get done and I am getting in my own way! And my happy-go-lucky 4 year old doesn't get it either, he wants to play and hug and kiss mom without restrictions, and fortunately he is spending most of the morning with Dad so I have my space to myself to ponder my stuckness and yuckiness.
How do you shift gears when you are in a mood like this? What tools do you use to snap out of it and get on with daily life? Or do you just sit with it for a while, absorb, understand and process the feelings so you can move through it and understand where the blockage came from and be more prepared to handle it the next time it rears its ugly head. I have alot of tools in my repitore but at this moment they fail me, at this moment I just want to sit in this sludge and ruminate, and you know that's OK. I know this is just a moment in time where I need to sit with my defiant inner child, chat with her, tell her it is OK to be Pissy and that I support and love her unconditionally. And from this dialogue, I can learn about myself and my wounds, I can grow and move forward through the wonderfully challenging, adventurous and interesting maze of my life.
See you real soon,
