Accepting the challenge, Taking it head on.
Yesterday was an absolute dumpster fire, for lack of a better term and because dumpster fire is just so accurate (if I can find a gif or something I’ll put it below this exciting paragraph...found it but maybe Scribbles doesn't handle embeds just yet?). I made a list of things to get done in the day, as usual, and none of it happened. I lie. Some of it did, but not the stuff I actually wanted to do, which highlights a lot about how my time is spent and changes that I need to make in both my work and personal life...anyways.
During the day, in the midst of the fire, I thankfully had the mindset of viewing this series of events as nothing more than challenges. Hurdles to jump over. I’m not sure if I successfully cleared any, but the mindset saved me from jumping out of one of the 2nd floor apartment windows.
The negative is going to happen, the bad is always going to be there, choosing how to view that stuff is half of the battle, maybe more actually.
I’m not saying I was all sunshine and roses by the end of the day, I was in a pretty terrible mood actually, almost kicked the dog when I got home, but I think I would have been much worse if I viewed the day as a bad day instead of what it actually was: a normal day with normal stuff to figure out.
Happy Friday!
