Angry at my spouse for gaming late and keeping me up last
night. Angry that he is not helping out
more with the chores. Annoyed that I had
to take a detour into traffic this morning to pick up a colleague and cross in
general since I’m tired. I would normally be snappy for the rest of the day and
pass on my foul mood to everyone I came in contact with today.
But there is an alternative. I can choose not to be angry.
Stuff happens, it’s not always good but we can choose how much we let it affect
us. In the past I have always let it affect me a lot. I panic and freak out or
feel so overwhelmed I just want to go home and cry. I don’t want to be that
person anymore. I can master my emotions. I choose not to be upset today (how unfortunate
that doesn’t work for tired as well!). I have made a list of my errands and
will work through them. Instead of being cross with DH I asked him for help. He
can do some errands for me. I have to pause every time I am getting upset and
realise he is not doing it on purpose, he just doesn’t know. When I ask him to
do something he gets it done so I should just ask more often without sitting
around fuming and wondering how long it will take him to notice. That is unfair
on him.
So today I will be tired yes, but I will also be calm. Maybe
I can even choose to be happy :)
