Zoom out
8th Mar 2008 |
My good friend Jay pointed me to this blog called zenhabits a while ago, and I absolutely love this post because it’s so true. How do you go with the flow, and keep yourself from losing control? In 12 steps, of course!
My favorite one is #4 … “get perspective.”
This is almost always my problem, in that I overreact (no way, really? me? overreact?) to things that are really not that big a deal.
Leo writes, “A week from now, a year from now, this little incident won’t matter a single whit.” Ha! Most of the stuff I go nuts about won’t matter ten minutes from now.
So, I need to learn to zoom out. We’ll all be happier!
