Have you ever had one of those days/weeks when you wonder…seriously, this has got to get better!

This week’s blog post is about Navigating the Storm: Finding Calm in Chaos during Home Remodels and Life’s Ups and Downs. We are in a remodel in our home! This is a good thing, but it can be overwhelming at times.

What do you do when you feel stressed? 

We have all been there at one time or another.  It’s not the day-to-day living in our home remodel that gets me stressed. The things that are out of my control and the incompetence of others get me stressed. Can you relate?

I have had three of those days in a row now and am ready for things to shift. Therefore, I made a conscious effort to change my thinking today. Here are proactive ways to do this that will result in a more productive day.

Here are the things I do that help me go from reactive to proactive status.
