And I\u2019m giving you a behind the scenes look at what I\u2019m doing to reset and focus on how to manage myself and my nervous system.   So, if you're in the same boat as I am, then this special bite-sized episode is for you!

For instance, when our home is chaotic due to our kids' activities, I dedicate 30 minutes to decluttering while playing some music or playing a Christmas movie in the background. Similarly, when dealing with a client, I go back to the drawing board, considering new target audiences or budget adjustments. The key is to find the most efficient solution, following the path of least resistance, instead of struggling uphill, as we often tend to do.\u201d [7:08]    \u201cIn order to have discipline, you need to have a motive to do something. I want to get healthier, so in order for me to be disciplined in doing so, I need to have the motivation to stick to it. Thinking about this from that perspective, I get to say, 'Okay, it might not be easy at that moment, but the motive is to be a better example for my kids, create a positive impact on others, and experience myself.' I'm not perfect. I goof up all the time, but I do my best to use it as a learning experience.\u201d [11:05]    \u201cThere are times when it just feels like the world is caving in, and I go, 'Oh my gosh! How did today become today?' I'd scream into the pillow, play 90s rap music, and dance to it to help get some of that excess energy out... it's all about finding out what outlet works for you when things aren't necessarily going your way.\u201d [12:31]  Bonus  Learn more about me here \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/www.soulfueledlife.com\/       Connect with me on my socials    \u2728Facebook -  www.facebook.com\/shayhrobsky  \u2728Instagram -  www.instagram.com\/shayhrobsky    Dive into a world where a good life and merry festivities come together \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/www.christmasroad.com\/    Like this episode?  Subscribe to my podcast & please leave a positive review on iTunes or Spotify.
