The Wolf at the Door

Ever feel overwhelmed? I call that "the wolf at the door."
Can be a bill collector, an old boyfriend (ex husband) , a sick mother, work problems, a major decision, or anything that is draining your energy and playing on your mind. It's the unknown outcome and "It" just won't go away.
As long as we keep it outside "the door" we have a boundary. We each know it is there and must be handled. It is sometimes the fear of what we must do to "deal" that keeps us stressed and frozen with inaction. We procrastinate....
By addressing whatever "it" is, one can still "hold your space" and dissipate the power of the task.
Imagine you are telling your very best friend how to handle the same problem. Break it into small steps and take some type of action. We have the wisdom and know what is best. Spend as few as 15 minutes jotting down the "plan". Visualize the ideal outcome and then take action, however minute.
Fear is greater than anything on the other side... it's just a puppy, once you take your power!
