One of mine is apparently to ignore timeliness.
Still, here they are, mantras I’m repeating to myself, or orders I’m giving myself, in all their lovely glory:
- shut up & smile
- repeat my version of serenity prayer: changeable things / things i can’t change / leave it be
- it’s not about you
- breathe out, smiling
So what kinds of things do you say to yourself to keep from banging your head against the wall?
I do bang my head on the wall, and our hallway has the indentations to prove it.
I try and not over react to negative stuff, and as the president of LITMA I get a lot of negative stuff, I love your ” shut up and smile ” Helen, I need to do more of that.
I’ll align with you on these, except that one shouldn’t shut up when being true to one’s nature.
