Wait a Minute

Thursday 5th May 2011

I don't know about anyone else but I find it funny how I will wait for something to happen sometime that I think will somehow change the world or make it so much better and when it finally happens you realise things are exactly the same as they were before.  It's like I will build this fantastic image up in my mind so by the that it actually happens it's so built up that the actual event isn't as exciting as it was in my head!

Phew I hope that made sense!! lol

I have just noticed that I was doing that with the whole selling of our house.  I have been building up my ideal image at every open house and every inspection that this buyer is "the one" and they will offer more than we wanted and life will be sweet, then I come crashing down in my head everytime it doesn't happen.  This goes back to my last blog where I was talking about the thinking gene.  It's funny how something can be built up in your own mind and it ends up being so far from reality and you don't even realise how far off course you've gone!  I have been so stressed doing this to myself for the past 6 months but for the first time this week I haven't crashed down when I didn't get the result I was hoping for.  I have to say it's so much easier on my stress levels when I stop thinking and just get on with my life and what I can control!  I also take comfort in the fact that we can't find a house that we both like in the area we want so it's obviously not the right time there either. 

It's is so much more relaxing just letting life go on without trying to pull the strings!  I am now concentrating on putting all my energy where I want to and not with things that I can't control even if I wanted to.

Finally I am off to try out a new gym in the morning and see what I think of it.  That is a much better thing to be focussing my energy on, the rest can sort itself out!
