Creating Calm in the Midst of Chaos . . .

Many years ago, while in a session with my therapist, I was detailing how much my life felt out of control. I found myself talking about my failing marriage, the stress I was experiencing at work, my strained finances, the loss of my dream home, and my uncertain future.

My therapist listened carefully, and then gently asked, “What is one thing you feel you do have control over, Mary?”

I thought for a moment . . . there was chaos in every aspect of my life.

“Honestly? My bladder!” I responded without a hint of sarcasm.

Kindly, he didn’t laugh, but he did smile and say, “OK, let’s start there.“

And that’s where we started — with me.

The greatest lesson I learned from this experience is that

no matter what the chaos is in my life, it is all external,

and the only thing I have control over is myself.

So that’s where we need to start.

It is an understatement to say we live in chaotic times. Families and relationships are strained, jobs are uncertain, budgets are tight, and many of our traditional institutions are failing us. This chaotic time affects us in ways that create chaotic emotions and a sense that everything is beyond our control.
