The way we experience life is a reflection of our attitudes, thoughts, and behaviours. We cannot control events that happen in the world. But we can control how we respond. The way we respond determines whether or not we have a happy and content life. Today, right now, you have a choice. You can be a victim. You can complain and get depressed that things aren’t turning out how you want. Or you can change your perspective and see an opportunity to learn something. You may learn something about another person, or about how you should change something to improve…
We all have routines in our daily lives that we perform in an automatic way. Whether it be driving our car to work, having lunch at certain times and in certain ways, or the way we reach for the pen at our desk every day which has been sitting in the same pen holder. In a sense we need these routines to keep our lives running along in as smooth a way as possible. When our routine is altered it can greatly increase our stress level.
