Appropriate Reaction
Managing Your Emotions
Have you ever exploded emotionally ... over something that really didn't matter?
If you said no, you are either very well adjusted, have control over your emotions, or are telling yourself untruths (the new buzzword for lying.)
So what can you do to help prevent inappropriate reactions to the curveballs that life throws at you?
Perhaps adjusting your perspective can help.
But how? How can one easily adjust perspective in such cases? What can you do?
Generating An Appropriate Reaction
It may not be true for everything, but here is how I do it.
Before I ramp up my emotions for those curveballs...I tell myself something:
If this is the worst thing that happens to me today ... Life is Good.
Got a fender bender? Life is good.
Got a "C" on an exam? Life is good.
Spill your drink in your lap at lunch? Life is good.
It's all about generating an honest and optimistic perspective. That helps us keep the perspective of events appropriate. Most of what life throws at us is temporary, non-life threatening and manageable. If that's the case, then why go crazy? After all...
If this is the worst thing that happens to me today ... Life is Good.
