Staying calm and enjoyable is really important for living a superb life.
When you get all riled up about a small thing it certainly doesn’t help you with it and just makes you more annoyed. So after waking up sick last week I am going to work on staying calm and weathering this storm and it will pass just like all the other storms in my life. I am lucky I don’t have some high powered corporate job with meetings and reports all afternoon like I used to have. I couldn’t imagine going to a meeting at 8am with heating and cooling techs and bosses for a couple of hours at the HVAC business I used to work at. I would have to prepare a report that I wasn’t interested in at all and give a speech to my boss and his two bosses, talk about stress. The heating and cooling corp where I worked ran 24 hours a afternoon and periodically I’d have to go there in the middle of the night because of some HVAC system problem. They would have me work on Sundays for most of the afternoon, separate from extra pay, and I would be left with just Sundays free. I left that HVAC technology job many years ago and now work at a relaxed pace in my dwelling at just a fraction of what I worked when I was a heating rep for that dealer. I remember sleeping on my dinner breaks because I was so weary, but now that is in the past and I’m glad I made the change and left the HVAC supplier for good.
