I’m becoming more and more
annoyed with Atlanta drivers. I typically get in the FAST lane on the high way
and I’m usually stuck behind some slow driver, gearing me to have to get over and pass them.
I don’t know maybe I’m
becoming this old grumpy woman. Like my neighbor who was constantly telling us to keep the noise down, or
to pick up our trash cans, and I’d be all like mind your own business lady.
I find myself constantly
annoyed with people these days. Whether it is in traffic, dumb asses on their
cell phones in the FAST lane driving slow! Or my kickball team that’s mostly
kids in their 20’s and their very behavior annoys me so much I want to punch my
ears and eyes out. When a teammate makes a comment that the Duggers are awful
people and I’m thinking, “you’re an awful person” it’s probably time to move
on. Not for saying that, but it’s just my opinion that you suck as a person.
Even at work I find myself making my days so stressful I can feel it in my entire
body just because someone forgets to put a phone number on a quote sheet. This
is just ONE of the many issues I deal with on a daily basis with these reps.
I’m sick of having to do things for them. Yeah it’s little on the scale of life,
but it doesn't make my job any easier, especially with a computer that doesn't want to react to my demands.
I have all these internal
outrages and I’m scared one day I’m just going to pop! Not really ;) Such is life.
Unfortunately, we have not control over others actions...but you can control how you react (internally and especially externally). Try to take a deep breath and find something to say thanks for in those frustrating situations. For example, the person who didn't write the phone number on the quote sheet...if you can't find anything to say thanks for about that specific person then start big...thanks for this job I have where there are people who can forget to put numbers on a quote sheet...or at kickball (either quit if it's that frustrating) or be thankful for even getting to play the game or to have the time you do have with the couple of people that are there. I know this sounds annoying, but I can relate to where you are and I am learning that it isn't good for our mental health to be anxious, frustrated, and stressed out - you have to find ways to release, not judge, and let stuff go (especially if you have no control over changing the situation). I love you. I think it's awesome you recognize your feelings - now get to yoga and get those out, sister!
ReplyDeleteYou can roll your eyes as you read this - it won't hurt my feelings. ;-)
I would NEVER roll my eyes at you dear sister. Love you.
