I am definitely guilty of taking myself & my life way too seriously at times. Getting so caught up in trying to tick items off my “to do list” each day just to feel like I have “achieved” something. Getting annoyed if I don’t get to finish what I had planned, or didn’t get to do what I wanted to do. Believing that the next thing on my “to do list” was the most important thing in the world!! Or getting frustrated at the little old lady driving 10 km’s below the speed limit when I need to get to the supermarket, or feeling tense when my chai I ordered was not quite hot enough! :)
Sometime I have to stop & remind myself to "Lighten up"!... & have a little laugh at my own little "dramas". A good question to ask from time to time is…. Does this REALLY matter?? Is it really THAT important?? Is it worth getting so tense & uptight over?? Anyway…. I’m confessing here that I’m certainly not a totally chilled, 'go-with-the-flow', cruisy-chick on a normal regular moment-to-moment basis..... however I am very AWARE of the times when I just need to "LIGHTEN UP!" And some of these ideas, suggestions, stories, clips, insights (of my own & others), which i have & will add to this blog, have helped me & may help you too (if you can relate to this) :)
I love this quote below... so true!
