Hello My Chaos Calming Critters! When do you know your Chaos has taken control? I've mentioned before that I am a stress-eater. My mouth never met an upset or an illness it couldn't cure by filling itself. So when I heard the news that American servicepersons and Iranian civilians had been killed, I went to the store and bought a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie mix. Really bad plan. Yesterday, I ate 4, and today, I just polished off cookie number 3, and now my stomach is upset. I could have made the better choice of a large mug of tea. I could have created the next video for my Functional Fitness Over 50 community. I could have closed the basement door and yelled obscenities. Instead, I do what many of us fall into when feeling overwhelmed. I started stuffing my face. But what I'm not going to do is beat myself up over it, because that causes more Chaos. I'll put half of the rest of the cookies in the back of the freezer. The other half will go to my neighbor. And I'll chock this up to my having learned how much Chaos and stress it takes to make me bake cookies. Pretty tall order, and now I'll be ready next time to choose from my list of options something healthier than chocolate chip cookies to soothe me from Chaos back to Calm. What are your signals that Chaos has arrived at the party in Go-Go boots? Check the calendar for your Wed eve LIVE Call link - 6pm MT, 8pm ET, 5pm PT.
