God Takes Counterfeit

Caregivers Journey

Ok so today I just don’t have what it takes. I didn’t sleep well, a loved one is in the hospital and we are playing the “can’t get information out of the doctors or nurses” game. I’m nervous and jumpy and dread the day. Not showing up is not an option so I have to soldier on but need to find a way to make it less painful. I recently heard the best saying. God takes counterfeit. Wow. In other words, act as if. Act as if you are brave, strong, feeling positive and hopeful even when you don’t. If we act as if we are feeling this way the universe will reflect that back to us. The universe accepts our best effort no matter how lacking we may think it is. So today my best effort is to get dressed, get out and try to focus on one thing at a time hoping to feel better soon. I won’t worry that I’m not good enough, rested enough, strong enough or calm enough. I will act as if I am as brave as a lion and strong as the wind. If acting as if is good enough for God/Universe then that is good enough for me. I don’t have to be perfect. I just have to do the best I can and act as if that is enough. Funny thing is, it usually is!
