Slow down to breathe

Today’s rating is positive.

I have a picture of these little cuties at my desk. They remind me to take things easy, to breathe when something starts to overwhelm me, and be thorough in my work. Mistakes happen and I try to reframe it into an opportunity to learn. Learning is an important part of my life. I love to learn new skills, new knowledge, and new facts.

If you ever feel overwhelmed, don’t forget the turtle. In the nursery rhyme, Tortoise and the Hare, the Tortoise won the race. We can win the race called life, as long as we remember to breathe. I hope you can remember this and have a good week.

Tough Tuesday

Today’s rating is Negative.

I found out that my commute is being turned upside down when I thought things would be ok. My toes were freezing, since it was single digits on the way home. I understand that I’m a very sensitive person, I find its the little things that upset me the most.

On the other hand, I did a good job at work and I’ve got exciting plans in about three weeks. Sometimes, its just a matter of perspective. If I put things into proper perspective, these little things don’t add up to much. I am going to have to remember that for tomorrow too.
