Irritated that I haven&#8217;t learnt from my mistakes, again. Will I ever though? That&#8217;s the question. Probably not. That&#8217;s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m annoyed with myself because I was in a slump, for no good reason (other than it was Monday, and then this morning, because I had to get up with the prospect of being very busy at work). I was getting myself &#8216;pre-stressed&#8217; about things &#8211; worrying about things before they happened. For crying out loud &#8211; there&#8217;s enough stress out there waiting for me already, without subjecting myself and others to more of it before it&#8217;s even happened. If something&#8217;s going to happen, it&#8217;s going to happen &#8211; do anything you can beforehand, but just deal with it when it does happen.<\/p>\n<p>I was concerned that I&#8217;d be overwhelmed with work today. The facts that I&#8217;ve just had lunch (albeit a pasta pot thing), and that I&#8217;m having the time to write this are evidence that this hasn&#8217;t happened. Either that or my Inbox will be crammed when I go back to it in a moment, but let&#8217;s deal with that when and if it happens. So yes, I was concerned about being overwhelmed. The concern did nothing to get the job done &#8211; it served only to get me down. I know this &#8211; I knew this this morning, and I knew it every other time it&#8217;s happened. But yet, there I was, being concerned and getting myself down.<\/p>\n<p>In the grand scheme of things, I have little or nothing to get stressed about anyway, to be absolutely honest.<\/p>\n<p>Problems are just solutions waiting to be found. Greet life with a smile, whatever it tries to throw at you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and when life throws powdery pasta pots at you, eat them, unless there&#8217;s anything else in cupboard, in which case, eat that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m annoyed with myself again.
