I’m definitely a Chaos Creator, mixed with a bit of Performer. Follow Chayla Gustin @boldxbrazen Follow Desiree Taylor @desireemtaylor   Blog Post about time: https://www.shannonbally.com/blog/timer

This week, we are showcasing an interview from The Classy and Real Show with Raquel Bedoya. Raquel and I discussed some tips on how to gain control of the chaos in your life during a global pandemic (and any other chaotic time) and how to give yourself grace during a crisis.

Find the original full blog post HERE   Find your baseline:   Make sure your basic needs are met. Food, water, shelter, physical safety and security.   Then answer:   What are your problems? Brain dump everything you feel is causing you to stress out or be in a perpetual state of chaos.   Then what are possible solutions? Brain storm!   Look to the future. How do you make sure you don’t get back to this place of chaos? STEP 1: What will you no longer tolerate? Now that you are back to baseline, what events, behaviors, or tasks will you no longer tolerate. Decide this now, when there is a lull in the chaos and as things get more hectic and chaotic in your life, you will already have the boundaries in place to fall back to. STEP 2: What are you willing to accept? I’m not delusional, I am fully aware that there are some things you won’t be able to avoid. But, for the most part, YOU get to decide what you will accept in your life, relationships, home, job, diet, inner voice, ALL THE PLACES.

It's easy to get down on yourself when things don't go according to your plan. Here are a few quick tips on how to give yourself a confidence boost so you can continue to show up for yourself and your goals:   1) Write a BADASS List. See my video here 2) Poll your friends on what they think are your greatest strengths 3) Create something new. Suck at it. Refine it. It's just a starting point. 4) Practice Positive Affirmations and Positive Self-Talk 5) Visualize yourself accomplishing your goals   Don’t for one second forget that you have pulled yourself from the ashes of your former self many times before. Change and growth are challenging. If they weren’t it would be too easy to slip back into what once was. The change and growth morphs you into someone who can no longer fit the mold of the old you.  Don’t cry over your inability to fit your square peg self into the circular hole of the old you.   See full notes at www.chaosqueens.org
