Don’t let it all get on top of you! It’s way to easy to lose the plot or to let
life get you down. Yesterday morning I
went into hormone meltdown, it was the start of that once a month wonderfulness
of being a women! Mmm and as I’m getting older it’s getting worse, the pain is
awesome – NOT, the moods are amazing – NOT and the emotions, well lets just say
“it’s emotional”. So it’s 6am and I’ve
got loads to do before I can go to work, it’s peeing down and the dog needs
walking, I need to print off some stuff for work and stock up my car and
nothing is going to plan, the black ink runs out in the printer, so I replace
that and it won’t print, the printer nozzles need cleaning so whilst I’m doing
that the yellow ink runs out, then the cyan so now I’m getting wound up and go
to sort my car, I can’t find the things I need in my shed so I’m now screaming
at a cardboard box! That of course helps
the situation enormously, I stomp off and start crying as I walk up the stairs,
sit and my computer and press print because now I’ve replaced every ink in the
damn machine and it starts to print then stops because YAY I have a paper
jam! I sit and breathe and type into my
facebook status “Yay
and now a paper jam!” to which I then get a link posted with the following video
(if you’ve ever had a printer problem you need to watch this)
Well I sat, watched it and laughed out loud, called my mom up to
watch it with me and we both laughed out loud.
I then realised I was being way too dramatic and OTT about the entire
morning and I needed to chill out, after that I was fine.
Isn’t it easy to get carried away with a downward spiral, to let
life or a situation get on top of you! I
often say you may not be able to change a situation but you can change your
reaction to it. We all have a choice how
to behave at any given time when something happens, the way I behaved yesterday
morning was a little silly and normally I wouldn’t have but I was in pain and
my hormones were playing with my emotions and it took me half hour to realise
that’s why I was reacting that way, and as soon as I did, I chose to switch it
back. The universe just this second
tested me by giving me an evil knife type stabbing pain in my stomach – I smiled
;-) after I went oooowwwww! Of course!
Yes life’s all about choices and I’d rather choose the happier
option any day of the week, I’m all about the positive, cos the negative sucks. I can’t see why anyone would prefer to dwell
on the downside of a situation when it makes you feel so gloomy and trust me
there is always a positive if you look hard enough. X
We’ve had some fabulous results in my meetings this week, 700lb
weight loss (that’s 50 stone) and four members achieved their goal weights, two
of them losing over 50lb each, awesome isn’t it. And everyone answering the questions which I
posted on Tuesday’s blog about ‘why we want to lose weight’ – if you haven’t
already done that, go back to Tuesday’s blog and find them, answer them and put
the answers somewhere safe for you to refer to often.
Almost the weekend folks, so enjoy a feel good Friday. xx
