Sh*tstorms & Avalanches

 

Is this how you describe your days and shifts?

Words matter.

What if you chose words with a different tone and energy to describe a busy day?

Could you acknowledge how hard you work and not make it harder by stepping into victimhood and overwhelm with your words?

Sh*tstorms and avalanches take a lot of energy to change.

Describing your day as tiring or depleting is also usually accurate.

These words are solutions-focused. They lead you to ask questions such as

What can you do to manage your energy better?

What energizes you?

How can you add even a little bit more of the energizing things back into your day?

Feeling depleted and tired is different than being buried under an avalanche. It’s much less defeating than a sh*tstorm.

Being tired makes rest, restorative practices, kindness, and compassion a healthy and essential response.

What words are using to describe your days and your life that are making hard things harder?
