Superpowers

Too many of us are running on empty, way too often. Some of us are overworked, overthinking, overwhelmed, and just plain over it.

Trying to balance, keep up, and stay sane, is a challenge all by itself. Even though selfcare, selflove and self-help are becoming more popular these days, anxiety levels are still increasing along with gas and groceries.

You can’t slow down with your foot on the gas pedal, and you can’t keep up when the speed of life constantly increases. If what you’re doing is not working for you, and you know it, try this. Stop. Stop the bleeding. Take a day off and reset. Not just a day off from work; from family, daily responsibilities, everything. Get away for a day. Can’t afford it? Try sending your kids away for a day. Stop it with the excuses. If you we’re hospitalized for a day, what would you do? Do that.

Once you’re alone, disconnect. No phone, social media, music, news, movies, nothing. Just you, your journal, and a pen. Be still. Give yourself a moment to breathe, feel, focus. Recognize that you’ve made it this far and smile. Think back to your childhood and what you enjoyed doing or always dreamed about doing. Was it cooking, dancing, a sport, reading, acting, drawing, fixing things? What did you constantly imagine back then? Go back to that place; breathe, feel, focus. Write it down. Think about where you are in life right now. Write it down. Think of what it will take to make your imagination(s) come true. Write it down. Now read what you wrote. Do you believe it? Good. If not, sit with it for a while. Read it until you do.

When you’re there, you’ll know it. That sweet spot where you experience indescribable peace, joy, energy, clarity, laughter, and endless smiles. You may have just discovered your purpose and identified your Superpower. It’s been inside of you all this time, waiting on you to use it. You, my friend, was made for these times. What are you waiting for? Let’s go get ‘em!
