F-Words

I do a weekly video called F-Word Fridays, F-words that inspire.  I recently did a video featuring the word frazzled.  It means showing the effects of exhaustion. Can you relate?  I think it is a common occurrence and because it’s common, it has somehow become acceptable.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want frazzled to be a “normal” part of my daily life.  I definitely do get frazzled and distracted because I have so much on my plate.  This year I am striving to live a more peaceful life; to not get caught up in the busyness of doing, but to spend more time in the appreciation of BEing.

I am taking a course called Business in Your Soul.  It brings in a spiritual aspect of business. Most of the participants are women - wives, mothers, full-time breadwinners, many who are fraught with exhaustion. How about you?

To help me stay in a peaceful state, and away from being frazzled, my mantra this year is “I am guided by grace”. This reminds me to be forgiving of my shortcomings, to acknowledge I’m striving to do my best, to give and receive grace.  Just saying it brings a sense of calm.

Is there a word, possibly an F word, that you can use as your word for this new year? Here are a few suggestions: fun, faithful, fabulous, fantastic.

May you find freedom in the word that you choose. Wishing you a fruitful year full of finesse! 🙂
