Comments on: How Do You Weather the Storm? http://www.susanliddy.com/how-do-you-weather-the-storm/ Emotional Intelligence Business Coaching for Entrepreneurial Women Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:17:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Cecelia http://www.susanliddy.com/how-do-you-weather-the-storm/comment-page-1/#comment-19146 Cecelia Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:51:05 +0000 http://aspirelifecoaching.org/blog/?p=239#comment-19146 This is a really good post, Susan! What I've found myself doing lately, when I go into all three modes you listed above, is to ask my 7-year-old self how she would respond. Rarely, if ever, do I recall that girl sweating the small stuff, about anything! I also read this somewhere, and it makes so much sense. "When you feel yourself getting ready to panic or over-react about something...hit your pause button and schedule it for 24-hours later. You're bound to handle it much better and more than likely it was more of a molehill than the mountain you thought it was." :-) I also make it a point to remind myself when my thoughts get carried away, to re-focus on the moment I'm in, and not the future since it's not here yet.

It's hard to go through relationship challenges... yet this will pass. Be GOOD to yourself, nurture yourself through the heartache. ((( big HUG ))) -S Sad to hear you are having a rough time.

I start to think of the What If's and then that turns into worry, which then turns into fear. What helps me get through that, is to stop, and immediately start complimenting myself, pointing out all of the good things about me. Sounds silly, but it helps me to remember that I am okay, that I am loveable, and that I will get through whatever is happening.

That's why its so important to surround ourselves with like-minded people who truly love us and want for our happiness. Sometimes I can get too emotionally attached to the situations in my own life and having someone who can observe and tell me what they see can make a huge difference. Love that you stopped in for a visit. Come back soon! -Susan Gosh, we all need a pep talk from time to time.

I definitely have a tendency to wall myself off. Particularly as a coach, it's sometimes hard to even admit, "hey, I need a little pep talk myself". But I have to say that the thing that seems to always help me to get back on track is connecting with nature. I can simply stand outside and stare at a beautiful, majestic tree and know that it's all okay. Thanks for this, Susan! I definitely have a tendency to wall myself off.

Things always get better... don't they?! Shutting down and going into that cycle of limiting thinking, just makes us feel worse... not better. Love that you are surrounded by those you love and can get the support you need when the going gets rough. :) Susan Great awareness, Evangelene.

For me, it's identifying the problem and not letting it get to me. I do lean on a support group of my friends to get through situations. Sometimes I find out I'm not alone, but often I find that everyone is sending positive thoughts my way. I also find an outlet I can rely on to help relieve the stress. Eventually, things turn around when I don't even realize it. When stormy weather hits, I do all three things Susan has mentioned:
