When life is going well, it's all smiles! But what happens when misery strikes?
Misery and pain; emotional strife. Anything that challenges what you see as normalcy is not a place anyone wants to be.

Not only is your stressed increased, but your tolerance for what life dishes out becomes threatened.
I look at my family, my children. When misery strikes, your immediate reaction might be to ready for battle.
In London, there was an horrific attack, where at this time, it's taken 3 innocent lives, injured 29 people and has devastated an area in our world.
I like to be optimistic and say that everyone and everything is good. But realistically, that's not the case. Life isn't fair.
Bad things happen to good people. It's unfortunate.
The question is, what do you do when misery strikes? The misery in ....
- your marriage
- your relationship with your children
- your job
- your health
- your finances

805 Release the Tension
Life is demanding and draining on you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are times in your life that you must release the tension.
If you continue to burn the candles at both ends, not only will you hit burnout; but you will begin to retreat from living.

What kind of life is that and does it really serve you?
You must take some time for you, to release the tension and truly slow down.
I know what it's like to put on the Wonder Woman suit daily. However, as time moved forward, my health was impacted, which I chalked up to be just part of life.
What an excuse!
Looking back years later, oh no!!! It clearly was a red flag that something needed to change.
That's not how I chose to respond. I pressed on and still tried the Wonder Woman effect.
Little did I know I was sabotaging my marriage, my health, even my relationship with my children.
If you get nothing from any of my episodes, please hear this --- Release the tension to impact the world.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Release the tension to Impact the world!
- RELAX. It's going to get better. Don't fret. Pray.
- RELATE. Ponder the source of the problem and look for a simple solution (your own K.I.S.S.)
- RELEASE. Let it go! It's done. Move on. Move forward. Love unconditionally and forgive.
