Trying to change how I look at life and how I react to things. It isn't always easy...some days are better than others. I'm thinking a lot about how I may be addicted to stress and that it's limiting me and my choices in life. For instance, most people are addicted to the drama and stress of a job, a relationship, etc. I'm trying to break free of that and see if how I feel inside really can change my circumstances. Example: I work at the front desk of a very busy legal office and today an irate attorney came up to the desk yelling and demanding and basically acting like an ass and I remained calm and pleasant. I smiled and I was helpful. He went from being a full tilt jerk to smiling back at me within minutes. Amazing...maybe I'm on to something new...this doesn't mean that I don't have times where I fail. It's easier to be this way at work than at home with those I love. I guess it's because they know exactly how to push your buttons...isn't it strange that we can be more patient with strangers than those who are closest to us? I still don't think I will be able to conquer my road rage however!! LOL! It's a work in progress...
