I talked to one of my good friends at work about it and we were saying how we think part of it is just being a girl, but that I just need to do something for myself when I start to feel this way. Go out. Do something. Or just brush it off. I can't let myself get worked up about stupid little things! Cause really...where does it get me except for in a place I don't want to be!
How do you all handle these situations? Where something happens that puts you off guard? Where you have high expectations and maybe they're not met to your standards? Or just get yourself in a rut?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions so that the next time I come in to one of these situations I don't get myself up in arms.
Anyway, had a nice Sunday with Jason after I let myself just do my thing and get through my little tiff. We watched The Master and relaxed all day long. Talk about an awesome Sunday!! I'm trying to make it through the next three weeks before our Spring Break begins and I'm about to schedule me and Jason's couples massage! I am beyond excited about that.
The weather forecast is also calling for snow on Wednesday, so me and my coworkers are hoping for one last snow day on Wednesday and then a two hour delay on Thursday. Ya know...for a break in between the chaos that we just passed and then right before Spring Break! What a nice gift that would be since I doubt we'll get any more snow after this. So...I'll update you after Wednesday to see if we end up getting anything. *Fingers Crossed!*
How was your weekend?

I honestly think this is something I struggle with a lot. In fact, I know it is. I feel like I put too much expectation on everything. An idea in my head of how everything will be, or is supposed to be. And when it's not, (because it rarely is), it gets me down. Lately, I've been trying to just put my trust in the man upstairs...because he knows what he's doing. And everything always feels better that way.

I always try my best to just brush things off. Usually the situation is something I have little or no control over. Don't let things get you down. Glad you enjoyed your Sunday though and yay for a couples massage. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a huge struggle for me and I find myself slipping from time to time - especially with the ages of my kids. I heard the song "This is the stuff" and it just spoke to me. I learned all the words - when I am getting there I just start signing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the stuff that drives me crazy, This is the stuff getting to me lately, In the middle of my little mess I forget how big I am blessed.
Hope that helps.

My latest strategy for dealing with the little things that make me upset is to think "What would my Grandpa do?" He's just the kind of person who doesn't let things upset him unduly. He's always told me "Don't let circumstances influence your behavior" and I've found that that helps. Do you know anyone in your life who you admire for their ability to handle the curveballs life throws at them? Having a role model can help, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you were going through a hard time. I think, as girls, we definitely can't let things roll off our backs easily. I'm glad you had a good weekend, regardless of what was going on. Enjoy your couples massage! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay for couples massage, hope it's super relaxing! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry, sugar. I definitely know how you feel, this happens to me a lot. Generally I need to take some deep breaths. And then take a few minutes to myself. Watch some stupid YouTube videos or look up some corny jokes and then I'm usually fine again.
If all else fails, I take a nice long hot shower. :)
I'm the same way, I let things eat away at me and I hate it. I mean I usually like to do something I enjoy like cuddle with rob or splurge on a new dinner place or dessert. Anything to take my mind off things!
