My week started with a broken washer, a broken furnace (had to get a new furnace), Mother troubles, oh and a trip to the vet. I did everything possible to both solve the problems, manage my frustration, and remain civil. As I was journaling the solution came to me for what to do with the worry.
You might have guessed it! CHUCK IT IN THE FUCK IT BUCKET. And that it was I did, I kind of wrapped up the worry and put it in the bucket. Guess what it worked! It was as if I was laying it all aside and I moved on with my day, met with clients, did my work, and had actually a fabulous day.
One by one the problems were resolved. The repair man called back, and the furnace situation is fixed, got help with the Mother situation and the pets are fine.
By Chucking It In the Fuck It Bucket, I was drawing a boundary with myself. I was saying let go of the worry, I had done all the work, called the repair people, called for help and it was time to wait. This is of course different than ignoring problems and hoping they will go away. It is a conscious and deliberate boundary or act of letting go and accepting what is.
This afternoon I am going out shopping to buy a Bucket!
As always I hope this has been helpful.
Warmly,
Coach Susy,
