Good Morning lovelies,

Today I have a lot of anxious energy swirling around in my stomach. I am not quite sure if it is because I have excitement about my upcoming vacation or because I am working from home today.

Sometimes I am lucky to work from home. Whether I am having stomach issues, a child is sick and needs someone home with them, or they have electrical problems at work, and there is no power.

This is the case today. So instead of making the trip to the office for a few hours and wasting gas, I am home.

I made a delicious breakfast of spinach and mushroom omelet with a side of avocado and coffee infused with ashwagandha. I got all set up on my loveseat with my computers and phones.

After some technical difficulties on my end, I finally got into all the systems I needed for the day. I have worked remotely before and have never had an issue with it. You have to wait to accomplish a few things until you are back in the office every now and then, but for the most part, the day-to-day stuff can be completed.

As I began approaching my first break, I had this overwhelming feeling of an upset stomach. I was perplexed, as I did not eat anything that should cause any issues or reactions, so why do I have this pit in my gut today?

Then it dawned on me. I am anxious. About what? What is there to be worried about? You are doing your work, answering any issues or questions, and everything is going smoothly. You are just in a different setting than usual.

So why am I so damn anxious? Is it actually excitement for my upcoming vacation or something else? I had to take some time and meditate to ground myself and calm this energy down.

After sitting in the silence and waiting to find out which thoughts I would not stop trying to come back in, I found my answer.

I have several things that I am anxious about. My husband applied for a new position at work and had his interview, which went very well, but no offer or denial yet. I also have a ton of house/yard work and schoolwork to complete before going on vacation.

So, it is not anxiousness I am feeling; it is overwhelm. I grabbed a pen and paper and quickly jotted down everything I wanted to accomplish before vacation. I then reminded myself to be patient and let the universe have my back regarding my husband's possible new job opportunity.

After getting my list together, I asked for help from my kiddos. They helped me check off some things and clear up my plate so I could get as much done as possible.

Taking that 15-minute timeout helped me so much with my emotions and the reactions my body was having to them.
