@ breedersareeaters – thanks for the compliment. My mentor also said that worry is the energy that should be used for creativity, and if we use it to wear ourselves down in life, then it robs our creative work. And raising your family is your path of improvement, where you want to be growing creatively.

@ Kerstin – yes, it’s really about training where you’re strong rather than where you’re weak I think – in those times that you need to. Even on bad days you can create a rising tide that lifts all the boats.

Hitting issues head-on can often be asking for trouble, because we contain so much contrariness, far more than we and the self-help courses ever admit.

The trick is to know when to use which option.

I love the idea of expanding limits through outside activities and projects. Focusing on one thing can drain all your energy and leave you feeling defeated.

Great post.

Beautifully written. Just yesterday I had one of those days where everything seems to spiral out of control. Even though my place of business is my house managing 2 young children, I can definitely relate.

With my eldest child missing chunks of hair from a self-given haircut and my 2 month old only napping 30 minutes at a time I think I was hallucinating by 4 pm . The 3 year old was screamy at the swimming pool, the baby wanted to nurse all day.

I too love and feel inspired by this new undertaking but why did I keep attracting chaos? After reading this post about surrogate training it dawned on me. Pilates is my way of keeping faith with myself. And on Wednesday evening I left the house feeling very guilty. I worried that the I hadn’t pumped enough, I worried that tracksuit ceo wouldn’t be able to hack it even though this was the 4th class post baby.

If my sacred hour away from my darlings is spent worrying then how can I expect to excel when with them? The day’s events might have happened regardless, but had I felt worthy the day before, I certainly would have coped better.
