Frustration...
How do you act when you’re frustrated? To you act out, take it out on others, turn it all in, cry....or maybe you never get frustrated?
Me personally I’m pretty easy going...it takes quite a bit to get me frustrated to a measurable degree. When stakes are high I’m usually more at ease...I usually only get frustrated in situations that are unsolvable and it’s going to cause disappointment to others because of me. And in these rare situations I am a crier.
But for the most part my philosophy on things is “Is this a life or death situation? Probably not....so why get worked up about it?” I mean I say in my mind at least 1000 times a day “what an idiot” or “fuck you” or “biiiittccch” but that’s as far as it gets and then I’m over it because it really doesn’t matter. I can’t control anyone except myself.
So during this holiday season take a few extra seconds and just enjoy the moment....don’t let the stress of everything that comes with the holidays ruin the holidays for you. Sing the Christmas songs in the shower, but some stranger a coffee, look people in the eye and give a genuine smile, hold the door open for someone, push an extra cart back to the cart corral....and just enjoy the season. Don’t get frustrated....kiss more, love more, hug a little longer.
Until tomorrow...
