I need to find a healthy balance of laissez-faire in my personal life. I am anxious, so I have to be specific in my backup plans. I'm a planner. Everything gets a plan B. I remember sitting in my PR course and the idea of contingency plans came up.
I make a contingency plan for near everything.
But things will work out. Today I was anxious for the bus because a meeting at work went over. I made it. I survived. On my way, there was an individual with a sign to "Be Happy" on the shuttle, and then once I got to the bus, the driver was super friendly. Once I was on my merry way, I watched Philip DeFranco, and laughed at his notion of 'embracing the mud.' They put my mind at ease.
But I need to be able to put my mind at ease on my own. If I do have these moments of panic, how can I approach it and not be thrown off for the rest of the day?
I am able to. Even on a micro-scale, the bus was having issues, which made you sort of anxious, but you did it. You managed the change, and you weren't as nearly stressed about it as you have displayed in the past. On your run, you even talked to a stranger about your fluorescent running shoes. You did that.
You are getting better. Keep these micro-moments in mind. I'm proud of you.
Fun fact - Colorado promotes a lot of ways to get better grass, and not all of them are weed related.
