When the Dirt Hits the Fan
The Women Alien Abduction full movie Some days are just rough – pure and simple. It could be your computer is acting up or a program you’re using on it isn’t functioning properly. Maybe you don’t feel 100% today. You might be constantly interrupted and that takes you afield of the intentions you had for yourself for the day. Today was such a day for me.
It’s a big red flag when these things begin to happen. First I typically find myself taking longer than I should on things, trying to fix problems and getting frustrated at my time and effort expenditure. If I persist in what I’m doing, I can begin to get both tired and angry. Ideally before that happens, I stop. I step away from what I’m working on and physically move to another room. I do something good for myself. I take deep breaths and reflect on whether or not the project I’m pursuing really has to get done now, this minute, today. If it doesn’t I might pack it up for the day and go do something more satisfying. If it does have to get done today, even ten minutes in the sun can cast new light on me and the situation.
My recommendation again: step away, take deep breaths, get in the sun when you can and ask yourself how important it is to continue with what you’re working on. Once you determine this, be fine with your decision. If you have to complete what you’re working on, promise yourself something enjoyable when it’s done. But whatever you do, don’t look back at the dirt that got on the fan. Don’t let that bother you or mean anything about you, your circumstances or even your computer. Sometimes dirt happens.
When the ____ hits your fan, what do you do to stay out of punishing thinking or behaviors?
