JUGGLE VS STRUGGLE

Choosing Life as a Juggle Instead of a Struggle

JUGGLE vs. STRUGGLE

Do you think life is a struggle?

Perhaps a healthier perspective is to view life as a juggle.

These are two very distinct viewpoints we can choose between:

Life as a Struggle

Life is a struggle. It is filled with so many responsibilities and so many decisions to make. Being an adult can feel dull, burdensome, and disappointing, with feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated.

Life as a Juggle

Or life is a juggle—filled with so much zest. There is a plethora of life in me and around me. Life is like a kitchen with a variety of seasonings and spices to explore. Life is an adventure, and every day I get to juggle variety.

Which viewpoint would you choose?

I would choose the second!

The second certainly sounds like I am in control of my life, no matter what comes my way.

Know Your Limits

You already know when too much is too much. We call it frustration. Then frustration turns into anger.

Let’s define frustration as a red light—a signal that says: Stop.

Stop and reevaluate your juggle.

Reset, realign, and re-evaluate. Allow logic to prioritize what is realistically possible today.

I call this a healthy mindset approach.

Juggle with a smile.

You can do this.

I believe in you 🫶
