Put it in the F#CK IT Bucket.
Let me help you liberate yourself from wasting incredible amounts of energy on stuff that does you no good. You know what I am referring too….the endless hours of thinking time poured into toxic relationships, past choices, future worries and every other draining, soul sucking “situation” that diminishes living a Deeply Satisfying Life experience.
Whew that was a loaded statement.
I know I can easily get sucked into a vortex of self-induced trauma around the feelings I feel about relationships and expectations.
CAN YOU RELATE? Do you spend too much time worrying about what other people think or how you feel about what other people think? RIGHT?
Do you often feel disappointed, sad, frustrated, bitter, resentful or annoyed?
Now sometimes our feelings of anger, hurt, disappointment, frustration or annoyance are symptoms of a lack of boundaries, toxic relationships, low confidence or net negative habits.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT,
a lot of the times we need to just get out of our own way and throw that crap in the FUCK IT Bucket.
Seriously.
Let that shit go. Stop wasting your time. A Deeply Satisfying Life is not possible when focusing on the let downs, failures, worries and disappointments.
Easier said than done. YES. But possible.
Free yourself from the mental drain and throw it in the FUCK IT Bucket when:
You feel like a friend has let you down. Friends are not perfect. People will let you down. Love them for who they are or invest more time in others.
You are annoyed by a coworker. Coworkers are not perfect. Don’t get on their roller coaster of crazy and focus on your own passion, purpose and impact.
Your partner pisses you off. Partners are not perfect. Is it possible to let it go? Yes? Throw it in the FUCK IT Bucket and move on. No? Well that’s a bigger conversation.
Your Starbucks Barista didn’t get your drink right. People are not perfect. Be grateful you have the money to buy coffee.
A customer bitches even when you did everything you could to make them happy. Customers are not perfect. Focus more on the ones who appreciate your service. Try to get a testimonial
I totally get that life is complicated. I get that there are many variables that impact our relationships, self-identity and ability to create success and happiness.
I GET IT.
But, and I know from personal experience, often we MAKE IT HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. We focus on the negative shit and spend too much time in the zone of “not enough” or “so annoyed” or “why me?”.
For the daily moments that grind you down consider mentally throwing them into the FUCK IT Bucket and moving on with intention and focus on things that help you grow instead. YES. YOU. CAN.
Hope this helps xxoo
