We promise ourselves changed behavior, new habits, perhaps, or a positive attitude. But then we proceed to focus on our liabilities, giving them even more power, a greater hold over us.
We can practice our assets, and they'll foster the promises we want to keep.
With any luck I'll turn blue and people will give me what I want. It IS an asset to throw tantrums, isn't it?
I think I had a few yesterday.
Can I just say yesterday SUCKED?
Before I even got out the door to go to work....I was pretty dang mad.

The Brit tried--he helped me look for a toy to take to work so I could play a bit and hopefully choose a less angry attitude.
I took my puppy to work. *nodding happily*
Yep....he barked and growled and wagged his tail a whole lot.
Granted, it took him forever to walk up that hallway--good thing the kiddos are patient with puppies.........good thing we have spare batteries at work. LOL
But I did something I haven't done in a longgggg time.
I got so mad I had to leave the building and walk around it.
MAD mad......when I get that angry I'm fighting tears and losing--so outside, away from the human beings I go. And I'm walking around the building to spend some of that angry energy.
Now, I'm sure today will be a much lighter day.
After exchanged emails with the boss he finally took the situation and--problem solved.
But it took him going to their's and theirs coming to me to get the results.
And I don't work well under those circumstances....I'm not accustomed to not getting workable results. LOL
I LIKE MY WAY.
Old habits and those promises I make to myself--the good news is I took myself for that walk around the building and didn't bother to pull people into it that really didn't need to be involved....was a time I'd do that 'for moral support', don'tchaknow. (more like for tea and sympathy--sorta bandwagon-like of me, huh?)
The bad news--a couple staff members knew I was angry and wanted the scoop.
The good news.....I didn't give it to 'em cuz it really wasn't theirs to deal with.

The badder news......it ain't over yet, folks...........
I don't take kindly to not getting my way........LOL

A woman in fighting mood .... watch out world she's bigger than a tornado, and will come tearing in and whoosing out leaving devasation in her path!! Or you could just be a purring pussy cat and lull them into a false sense of security here!!
pxx
Yes watch out!!
walking helps...I just said this somewhere...Dash I think...
keep in mind that sometimes YOUR way is the right way....maybe not all the time...but many times....but good job not getting everyone else involved.
Here Here!, what Katherine said.
Clearing your head with a solo walk was probably an excelent choice.
All part of life though isn't it. You sometimes have to get mad and then get the thing sorted. I'm sure you will.
