I knew what it was immediately 😭
It was the kind of sound that wakes you up out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night.
The pre-vomit stomach noises coming from one of the dogs in the other room 🤢🤮
(Dog moms I know you know the sound I’m talking about…)
If one of my coworkers hurled on the floor at any of my past jobs they would’ve got sent home, written up or fired 🙅🏼♀️
But when you work from home, when your dog starts puking while you’re in a meeting, all you can do is HOPE that it’s not on the furniture, that it’s not chunky and that they haven’t eaten it by the time you can clean it up 😅
...and you pray the panic isn’t showing on your face while you’re on a Zoom call 🤣📱
This was one of those days where I had to scream at myself in my head;
“CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL!!!!!!!”
And you know what? When, where, how and the consistency of the dog puke happening in the other room was 1000% NOT in my control 🤷🏼♀️
If my 1:1 clients learn one thing throughout their time with me, I hope that it’s this. I instill this mantra in my clients ASAP, because it saves them so much stress throughout their journey and their life 👏🏼
Usually we relate that mantra to things like injury, sickness, forgetting to pack your lunch, if a machine is shut down, your fridge broke, you forgot your nike’s at the house, etc….this is the first time I’ve related it to puke 🤢 😂🤷🏼♀️
But y’all... today I needed a taste of my own mantra medicine 💊
So I let him puke. I let that little dude roar in the other room while I controlled what I could.
My time. My attitude. My attention. My focus. Where I was spending my energy. ❤️
So if you’re dealing with a dog puke situation today too-- I feeeeeeeeel you. 🤣😅
