Temper Tantrum

What adults do you know that have TEMPER TANTRUMS? Have you ever had a hissy, (a bitch fit, a meltdown) and didn’t know how to handle it? Where did that anger come from? I mean it’s one thing to get angry; it’s another to get so mad, you can hardly control yourself! I’m talking about how I felt and what I did to control myself. I’ve been angry before, and found that I felt better if I could blame someone else for how I felt – like my kids or my husband or my hormones. And while I know that’s not healthy, it’s what I did at that time. I’ve since MATURED!

I was really angry at the circumstances that I found myself in. On the one hand, I was following the advice that I give my Finding Superwoman™ clients when they start to feel overwhelmed. However, I was mad at my Creator for being in the situation that I was in. As a faith-based person, I believe that you decide what path you want to take, pray about it, and take a leap (of faith). As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said: “Faith is taking the first step, even if you don’t see the whole staircase.”

As I gave myself time to think about what was really going on in my life, I decided that it wasn’t my faith or Creator, it was the choices that I had made for the last year and a half and the daily thoughts that I was thinking that landed me in the position that I found myself in.

When things get tough for us as grown women, I believe there are a couple of ways you can handle the situation. 1: You can either have a temper tantrum (like I did), or 2: You can take a deep look at the chain of events that got you where you currently are. The deep look inside builds wisdom because it causes you to self-reflect.

On this particular morning, I allowed myself to have a meltdown—a temper tantrum—and decided to feel sorry for myself; the world is so cruel and that was it. That didn’t last very long because it felt weird. I settled down, reached for my journal and wrote about how I felt; then asked for guidance. It didn’t take long and I felt better.

I would love to hear how you handle disappointments!

When I coach my clients about finding their superwoman, I encourage them to discuss what’s really bugging them and determine what is most important in their life: work, family, or relationships. Once they’ve sorted out what’s most important, we work on determining how to remove stress and those feelings of being overwhelmed by what family members and work associates think about the decisions we’ve made.

I believe that you can have a wonderful relationship with your partner and your children as well as a successful career. If you are struggling to make this happen, click here to schedule a complimentary discovery session.

Forget Backpacking, Go Luxury Cruising Through Europe Instead

http://www.blackenterprise.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/luxury-cruising-europe/

Europe

Backpacking through Europe is on almost every travel bucket list, as iconic a dream for those of us with wanderlust as the classic American road trip of driving cross-country. But the new trend of cruising through Europe is letting visitors immerse themselves in the magic of the continent while enjoying the creature comforts of a luxury vacation.

Sailings down the Rhine, Danube, Rhône, Seine, and other rivers can take you through France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and more, past centuries of history, picturesque countrysides, and right into the heart of stunning cities such as Budapest, which sits on either side of the Danube River.

A number of cruise lines are catering to discerning travelers cruising through Europe with specially designed ships (panoramic windows and viewing decks) for these all-inclusive sailings, offering onboard perks from Wi-Fi to butler service.

If you’ve been on an ocean voyage before, you might think you’ve got cruising down pat. But river cruise ships are much smaller and therefore more intimate. It’s one of the factors that can really up the luxe factor—spend a week sailing with an attentive crew and less than 200 other passengers and you will feel catered to.

And forget about days at sea. With a river cruise, there are stops each day in a new destination and a full slate of sightseeing tours planned for you—usually included in your fare.

Adventures by Disney’s Danube River cruise, one of its exclusive sailings with AmaWaterways, starts in Munich or Prague and winds its way through cities such as Salzburg, Vienna, and Bratislava. There are daily walking or motorcoach tours—all led by knowledgeable and well-traveled Adventure Guides—plus activities ranging from wine tastings and classical concerts to marionette shows and family hikes through medieval ruins.

The European river cruising season typically lasts from April to October, according to Cruise Critic, with special Christmas and New Year’s sailings. Most itineraries last a week, and tour three countries.

Adventures by Disney has announced new experiences for 2018, including an adults-only epicurean Rhine sailing and a similarly grown-up Oktoberfest Danube sailing. Of course, there’s something for families as well, with a new Beauty and the Beast-themed voyage down the Rhine. With endless options, there’s a European river cruise for every type of traveler.
