While today's title sounds like my task today would be about letting go of things, it's not. After about 2 1/2 hours of sleep, a sore throat developing over the last 24 -48 hours and alot of stuff that has been going through my head I began to think this morning as I sat down to write this blog that maybe I was nearing my breaking point. That's when I realized that what's most important is realizing that I am at that point so that I can do something about it.
We all have days like this. Some of us probably more than others, but regardless, we all have them. It's the kind of day where you get annoyed at the littlest things and you keep telling yourself that if a certain someone (could be a coworker, a spouse, a sibling, or even an acquaintance) does something a certain way it's going to bring you to the breaking point and you'll explode.
Today is about holding on and not exploding. It's about maintaining some sense of calm in my daily activities and counting to 10. It's about remembering that some things aren't worth exploding about.
So, this is a short one today sort of. But I know that I need to take the tame and breathe today. To step away from my frustrations and maybe not blog about it too much and say something I will regret later. It's about holding on to sanity today and taking each moment a minute or a second at a time.
Take 2-aspirins and call..........
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish that it could be that easy, a quick fix. Although medication can help, I believe that you have the right idea. Everyone has days like this, but most people won't even recognize that it is happening. Someone like yourself, who has enough intuition to see that there is something "wrong", or just something "different", about today, can be very important, so you can be on guard today. You don't necessarily have to coup yourself up and stay at home. But just that awareness of knowing that you could be on the "edge", puts you in a much better position.
I know since I have recognized myself having these kinds of days in my past. Being ready for uncertain situations, I am sure that I avoided many unpleasant positions, even possible life-changing experiences. On those occasions that I did not heed my condition, I was lucky to get through the day without really messing up something.
