don't sweat the small stuff

i've learned recently about a personality trait which i embody. of course, i knew that i've always had it, but it's been more prominent lately. i worry or get upset about small things way too easily. i then analyze and think about it way too much, creating a much larger demon then it was ever intended to be. then i contain it much longer than it should be. eventually, it all boils up until it explodes.

as i was told tonight, it's not worth it in the end. in the grand scheme of things, everything will be okay (or already is). somehow, i need to let go before it ever grabs ahold.

much easier said than done.

this is my new goal. i want to try to learn how to deal with things in a much easier, controlled manner. i want to be able to realistically think about the situation or matter at hand, and then react. i'm sure that i will find out that it's actually not a situation to get upset about and it will be something i can let go of immediately.

adam, don't sweat the small stuff!

you've given me this same advice for ages! remember telling me, "why do you get so upset about things you can't change? don't let that stuff get to you!" time to take your own advice, yoda! lol.

you're right...I HAVE given you that advice...and perhaps it is time for me to take my own advice. it's sometimes easier to give the advice than to take it!
