"This too shall pass"
"Keep calm & carry on"
Seems so easy until you knock over you new $30.00 foundation or a dude rides your ass the whole way home. This past week I have been trying to observe & figure out what exactly it is that pisses people off when it comes to the "instant rage" effect inanimate objects or people who play no meaning in that persons life.
Is it because we are pissed at ourselves for doing something so stupid? Because our car can't speed up? Is it embarrassment that we are not doing things "according to plan?" Or, do we truly get upset with those around us?!
We could even take this question back too Freud. Is it because of an over developed id?!
But as always, here it is-- everyone is different and everyone has different biological and environmental reasons that cause anger. But, we are the determinants of our future! We decide what will piss us off to the point of no return and what is small enough to shrug it off! If we can all accept and recognize that we have complete control of our own happiness we can find things that make us happy and eliminate those that do not!
So I encourage you to do a challenge this week with me.
Every time something small happens that starts to irk your nerves, whether its traffic or small problem at work, take a second and ask yourself if this will still be relevant an hour, a day, a year, or even a decade from now. If the answer is no, let the problem go. If the answer is yes, consider the reasons why it affects you so much and establish a better and more socially acceptable way to deal with these daily stresses!
Remember, life does in fact go on and if you are having a bad day and things just don't seem to be going right, change the course of your day!
I obviously do what makes me happy most as shown below. Haha, just kidding(:
