Lesson 207: Wait It Out

Today we are to take a step back when feelings start to arise that bring us discomfort – the anger, sadness, frustration, overwhelm. Whatever feeling you have, just stop for a moment and breathe. Allow the feelings to come about and wait for them to shift. It’s about watching the change happen.

My Thursday consisted of work, an osteo appointment and a TV night with a friend. Nothing really major happened on my day. There are times when I do get frustrated at work and sometimes like my only mode is anger and frustration there. The shift I made happen was just to accept the situation and change my personal circumstance – so I applied for a new job. I believe I need to look at my options so that I can be happy in the place that I spend the majority of my time in. I believe seeing this internal job advertised was a spark that gave me some hope. I have a particular working skill and it’s not a job that gets advertised often. I feel like taking a stand on my attitude opened up possibilities of options to come my way. If I made the shift in attitude rather than sink into just anger and frustration, that wasn’t helping myself nor was it helping those around me. Morale is low in my department but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a catalyst for change.
