There are times in our lives when we are exhausted and it's obvious why - we are experiencing a major life change like a job loss or a divorce or the death of a loved one or serious illness.  

But there are plenty of times in life when you're exhausted and it's not so obvious exactly why or when it started. 

Or you aren't exhausted but you aren't feeling invigorated by life, things seem fine or pretty good but something is whispering to you, that it could be better - that you're here for more (fyi: it's your intuition :)  

No matter what brought you to this blog post, go through the following assessment and gain some insight into what you can do to move forward from wherever you are at right now :)

It's any given weekday, in any given year, and I wake up and greet the day with a smile.  

I take a shower, get dressed and then sit down to meditate in the quiet of the morning before I have to get the kids going.   I pull some cards some days, when I feel called to.   I breath deep, feeling myself sink into the present moment and the pleasure of simply being alive.  

My mind (ego or inner critic) takes this moment of peace to remind me that I have a really FULL day and I don't really have time to meditate today - which is routinely loves to remind me... I just tell my inner voice 'thanks but I'm good'.  By now I know that on my busiest days, it's even more important to take time to meditate in the morning. 

It always sets the tone for my day.  

The calm I experience during meditation magically overflows into my day, so I respond better to changes of plan, to surprises at work and the inevitable juggling that happens with...

Last week my twin girls had their 13th birthday - time flies doesn't it?   And I couldn't help but remember how I felt when I found out I was expecting them.

When we were told we were expecting twins, my world massively and suddenly flipped completely upside down - very, very similar to the way life feels right now. 

I was so concerned about the health of my babies - could I carry two healthy babies??  I mean, I had never even had one baby yet.

How would I continue to work while pregnant with twins, cause I'd probably have to take an early leave because of either my health of the twins' health. 

Two kids at once??  What??  Seriously.  What a feeling of overwhelm and fear and more scary thoughts.
