When Your Mess Becomes the Message | 3 Steps to Find Calm in Chaos

Ever have one of those weeks where everything feels like it’s unraveling? The to-do list doesn’t get touched, plans fall apart, and you start wondering… am I the only one who can’t hold it all together?

I had that week. And for a moment, I felt like a failure.

But here’s the truth: a mess doesn’t mean you’re broken. Sometimes, the very chaos you’re trying to escape is the exact thing preparing you to hear a deeper message.

It took me slowing down to realize this.

Your mess is not the end—it’s the middle.
It’s the place where God, grace, and growth do their best work.

And when we pause—even for just thirty seconds—we give our nervous system the reset it’s been craving. In that stillness, the message begins to appear:

• The clarity you couldn’t see before.
  

• The strength you didn’t think you had.
  

• The reminder that you are not alone.
  

For me, that pause is simple—my Lip Ritual™.

It might sound small, but in those thirty seconds, I stop. I breathe. I let the oils work, and I remind myself:
💜 I can choose calm.
💜 I can choose clarity.
💜 I can choose to see purpose in the middle of the mess.

It’s not just about smoother lips—it’s about anchoring back into myself.

If you’re in the middle of your own mess right now, here are three steps you can try today:

1. Pause before you push. Even 30 seconds can change your perspective.
   

2. Shift the story. Instead of asking “Why me?”—ask “What’s this teaching me?”
   

3. Anchor in a ritual. Whether it’s journaling, prayer, or your Lip Ritual™, let it ground you back to yourself.
   

Your mess isn’t wasted. Your message is being written right in the middle of it.
