My actions. My thoughts.
Nothing else.
Let’s make today just a day. Not frantic when looking at the back-to-back schedule. The schedule is just a series of expected events.
I can feel any emotion I want. How about calm? Like those moving walkways at the airport, I will just stand and let the day carry me. Anxious? Stressed? Optional, and I decline to exercise the option.
The thing, though, is to remember this point in the heat of the action. Remember that ascribing a feeling to “what’s happening” is entirely optional. And the feeling selected is also optional.
And if I metaphorically fall in the ditch, my only job will be to get out of the ditch.
