Who controls you?
A few months back I COULD FEEL the stress mounting in the
office I work in. We were in the middle
of tax season and we were all over worked and tired and attempting to keep a
good attitude with each other and a sense of humor about the amount of work
that needs to be done. But each of us at
any given time are waiting for the other shoe to drop. This only works as long as we each are not
given one more thing to do.
Well you know what happened.
Something needed to be done and someone got assigned the task and the
emotions flew and the mood shifted and the tense silent set in. These are the moments where finding joy has
to be intentional. Time for a time out.
Yep I think this should be mandatory for us grownups. Take the walk. Hold the tongue. Breathe a few deep breaths. A little mental distance from the stress. More times than not intentional joy causes
the tense situation to be kept in proper perspective: temporary.
Action Moment:
Look for a time this week that you can take a time out and (a) see how that feels for you in the moment when you make that choice (b) be more mindful of the heart shift you feel when take those few moments to breathe
