Life throws us curveballs every time – the deadlines that seem to sneak up out of nowhere, the responsibilities piling up like a never-ending to-do list, and those unexpected calls that something has gone south when we least expect it. Picture this: You are cruising through your day, doing your best to make it a productive day. It’s all going smoothly until suddenly, your boss (the one who always undermines you) shows up to talk about a project you are handling. The talk seems to be a mission to test your limits. Just as you have managed to handle the situation and push down the annoyance, anger or frustration, you receive a call from a relative that your attention is needed urgently for a family matter. “Why me again?” you are thinking. You are still pushing through the day (and pushing through the emotions) then when you get home, your child decides it’s the perfect time for a meltdown for any number of reasons. And if that is not enough, you find that your spouse is watching TV when the entire house is upside down and there is an envelope on the table that suggests that someone is asking for funds that you don’t currently have. You feel a storm of emotions rising within you.
You are not alone. Many of us experience these storms too. While the reasons may not be those stated above for everyone, we still feel them nonetheless. So what do we do with these curveballs and the emotions that they stir within us? When it feels like the chaos is just too much to handle and we are in desperate need of calm?
