Suffering vs. Surrender

February 16, 2017

It’s been a rough week at the Testa household.  Mark was traveling for business last week, then my daughter got the flu, then I got the flu.  BOO.  I give it up to you single parents out there, it is super hard to parent solo when you are both super sick.

Currently I have a lot on my plate. The flu was not on my agenda of to do items. I initially felt super frustrated.

Feeling sick really makes it hard to feel good.

Especially when you have no family nearby, you can feel really alone.

But- did I really reach out for help?  No.  I’m sure if I did I could have found it.  But after my tantrum I realized you have to surrender to what is. I can’t change what is happening. Thankfully in the big scheme of things its really no big deal.

When I allowed myself to surrender, I felt free.

Free to just let my body and mind rest. Free to cuddle and snuggle with my baby.

So the lesson I got – surrender. Don’t fight what is as it is just a waste of energy.

When I surrender to what is, my mind and body are free to just be. To go thru what we have to go thru.  I can find moments to appreciate. Like the fact that I had a super cozy bed to snuggle with my baby. That we have Instacart.  That thankfully my business is flexible, and there is room for life to happen. This is a huge gift.

When you are feeling that resistance, that frustration, I invite you to try and surrender instead. Let me know how it goes for you!
