Day 266
My positivity for today is the changes I have noticed within myself when it comes to dealing with something negative.
I'm not saying that I am immune to negativity and that it doesn't get to me. But I do notice that I don't hold onto things like I used to.
Today was a great test to my reactions. I had an appointment with a surgeon about my hand which has had problems since it was operated on. Now I am sure you will agree that specialists seem to keep you waiting for ages! To add to my wait for today I arrived an hour early because I had the wrong time written down. Then to add to the stress factor, the surgeon was running late so it turned out that I wouldn't even get to see him before I had to leave to pick up the kids from school! So not only did it waste my time but I also had to pay $14 for parking!
The old me would've gotten myself into such a state that I would've made myself absolutely sick!! Yes I did get annoyed (hey I'm only human!!) but I didn't keep it within myself and keep stewing on it. I have worked out that hanging onto the anger and negativity only punishes me so what's the point of holding onto it because I am already annoyed!
Anyway after I phoned my hubby to vent, I hopped into my car and cranked up the dodgy 80s music and sang at the top of my lungs the whole way home! Now I am feeling much better and I am ready to enjoy my afternoon!
It has been a long and hard lesson for me to learn but I am so grateful now that I am dealing with these things a lot better these days!
