I have been in tech hell this week.
I won’t bore you with the gory details, but let me just throw out a few terms that I have been dealing with: DNS, DMARC, firewalls, 404 error codes, 502 error codes, and spam filters.
Now if you’re tech-y, these might not seem so scary. But for me, this stuff makes me break out into hives.
When my podcast wouldn’t upload on my website yesterday and the website crashed this morning, I was on the verge of a panic attack.
Stress comes in many forms, and we cannot always control the circumstances.
But we can control our reactions to those circumstances.
In between the endless calls, emails, and Google searches to solve my tech drama, I took breaks to calm my mind.
Yesterday, I went for a walk while I was on hold for 30 minutes waiting for tech support. Later in the afternoon, I went to play tennis.
This morning when everything crashed, I took a time out and did a guided meditation on Patience.
Finally, I got the tech support I needed and everything is working again. Yay!
The essence of coaching is managing your mind while still taking action to get stuff done.
I am most proud of myself for taking “Me Time” from the stress and chaos to help myself stay calm.
Not only did the “Me Time” help me stay calm, but things got fixed, and I signed three new clients during all of it.
On today’s episode of The OverThinker’s Guide To Joy, I interview actress Maggie Lawson. Maggie and I talk about following your dreams and the importance of “Me Time.”
Whether you know her from the hit series Psych or not, you will love this conversation. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.
Happy Wednesday!
xo, Jackie
