Summary
When you’re waiting for news, for an answer, for closure… how are you patient, how do you get through the day, what do you occupy your mind with?
This wonderful question came from a member of our Elegant Excellence Community.
I shared the spontaneous teaching you’ll hear in this episode, and am following it up with thoughts through the lens of my brother-in-law’s accident that hadn’t yet happened when I shared this original teaching.

Would love to hear your thoughts after on Instagram @HilaryRushford. If you think this would help someone you know please share and tag me so I can see + chime in!

| 0:00.0 | You're welcome. What was that? You're welcome with Hillary Rushford. Say it again. You're welcome. |
| 0:11.4 | In advance. Friend, I feel like my brain is juggling so many open projects. And I mentioned this |
| 0:23.8 | on stories yesterday and over 90% of you were like, yep, I can relate. |
| 0:29.4 | An open project is a phrase we use in the elegant excellence journal. I think it is so |
| 0:34.7 | relevant and applicable in so many ways. Like if you are planning a wedding and juggling friend |
| 0:42.4 | drama and doing something at work and your kid has a science project, I mean all of those things |
| 0:48.2 | are just open projects that you are trying to, I wish I could, I wish you could see me right now. |
| 0:54.6 | I just have like my hands on my face. I'm just like, oh my gosh, my brain hurts. When you're |
| 0:59.2 | trying to juggle, how do all of these things go together? How do I make space for all of these? |
| 1:05.4 | And what I was sharing on Instagram is that I find it makes me anti-social because it's hard. You |
| 1:14.1 | have a little bit less time to share anyways. And then there's so much going on to share about. |
| 1:20.1 | And for me because of my work that relates into struggling to show up on Instagram and be social |
| 1:28.3 | there for you, it might be making small talk at a cocktail party or at church or just texting back |
| 1:36.0 | your friends because it feels like there's just, yeah, you're just short on time and you don't quite |
| 1:44.6 | know even where to begin because there's lots of different things that you could cover. And |
| 1:50.1 | today's conversation was inspired by another time, a little while back, when I shared some |
| 1:56.8 | the else on stories. And it was, can anyone relate to this? And hello, over 90% of us are here and |
| 2:04.6 | are having the same experience. And the question at that point was, do you feel like you are waiting |
| 2:11.6 | for something? Do you feel like you are in a story or a season of waiting? And almost everyone was |
| 2:19.3 | in this season. And I'd pose that question because it had come up inside the Align excellence |
| 2:26.2 | community. And today is the first time in a podcast episode where I'm pulling a teaching from inside |
