I will be there on the other side waiting for you...

Sitting on my own little piece of deserted beach this afternoon I was once again awe struck by the majestic beauty of the ocean.

It is the perfect combination of pure blue clarity and intense crashing force coming together in the all-inspiring magic that is nature.

It was a reminder that 'calm' and 'crashing' can co-exist.

It was reminder that 'calm' and 'crashing' both share in an equal display of strength.

It was a reminder the 'calm' and 'crashing' can come together in a display of flow.

And watching the storm clouds hugging the horizon and slowly start to move closer to the shoreline, I was reminded again of just how small I am in the scheme of things.

I’m just one human being on this tiny planet in this never-ending universe.

Yet, I choose to carry so much on my shoulders.

My own dreams and desires.

The dreams and desires of my kids.

The dreams and desires of my family.

The dreams and desires of my team

The drams and desires of my clients.

I want to help them all achieve their dreams and desires.

I want to give them everything I can and everything I have.

But the truth of it is that I can’t and the more I try, the greater the sense of failure.

I am only one person.

I can NOT be everything to everyone.

I can not NOT disappoint some people.

I can not NOT let some people down.

I can not NOT fail at some of my own biggest dreams and desires.

Does it mean I stop trying and give up….?

Hell no!

But today I’m reminded to have self-compassion.

Today I am reminded that I am doing the best that I can given the situation that I am in - that we all are in.

Especially in a time when it is extra challenging to support and not disappoint those import people in our lives... and for many of us as practice owners that is our team and our clients.

Know that these are extraordinary times.

You might need to make decisions that you never thought you would - I sure as hell am having to.

You might need to take actions that make you want to vomit with stress and anxiety but you will get through it.

And when you do...

I will be there on the other side waiting for you.

Because I am determine to also get through this.

And if you need some help getting through this, then I want to invite you to consider watching the COVID-19 90 Day Practice Survival Training that I ran live and recorded just yesterday.

The training ended up going for 3hrs30min and covered the 10 business areas that you need to attend to in order to not only survive but have a practice that will thrive beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is no web page for this training, so if you have specific questions on the actual training, just ask in the comments below.

I would normally charge around $497 for this type of training, but given the current circumstances I'm making this available at $97 (including GST).

I look forward to supporting you through this time.

Yours in Private Practice Success,

Gerda
