It’s ironic that I was just blogging about hummingbirds. How they flit from one thing to another. And then came today, one of those days where from even before my eyes open, I feel like I’m running a race where I start out behind.
Like that hummingbird, I flitted from one thing to the next today, with a schedule that had no wiggle room. So, when things didn’t go quite right and the minute pockets of time I was supposed to have got gobbled up by mishaps, how did I react? Well, in the past, I would have gotten upset, frustrated and then angry that things weren’t playing out the way I had hoped.
But I’ve worked hard over the past few years to improve upon my tolerance, self-expectations and self. As such, when my carefully micro-planned day began crumbling here and there, I took deep breaths and remembered the valuable lessons I’ve learned from treasured friends who help to keep me balanced. They are constantly reminding me that I am human. It’s okay if everything doesn’t get done. And above all, to remember to smile and laugh my way through the more challenging moments.
