We tend to overlook how life is really going. When asked, "How are you?", most of us reply, "Busy." Is that your response to what you want in your life...busy? Or do you want something more, just not sure how to get over the hurdles. Struggles are real! We hide behind the "busy". That way, there is no need to talk about what is really going on in your life. "Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle." ~ Napoleon Hill In order to live life with struggles and a smile, you must have a game plan. The K.I.S.S. ~ Extinguish your struggles with your Struggle Drill (S.D.)!

1. STOP
   • Literally stop. Take a break. Walk away from the issue at hand. Remove yourself from the situation.
2. BREATHE
   • Take deep breaths giving you a couple of moments to gather and settle your mind, body and spirit. This is like a "timeout".
3. RESPOND
   • Formulate your thoughts and actions on what's next to accomplish your goal. Speak your intention. This way you flush out the "reactions" and utilize your goals.

The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. Stop growing your struggles and feeding them by reacting. Instead... Be intentional. Be present. Use your struggle drill. Would love to hear what you are working on.
