22 December 2021 — COPING WITH THINGS NOT GOING AS PLANNED

It is just coming up to 10.30am and already I am feeling that things are not going as I expected them to. There is a part of me which is feeling agitated and upset as I have acted on the expectation of things going as planned only to be left feeling let down.

This obviously points to my inflexibility and lack of adaptability. How often do we all make ourselves suffer when things don’t go according to the way we planned? How much happier would we be if only we could accept things/our lives the way they are?

Change happens all the time and sometimes we are able to bring about the changes we desire and sometimes not. ACCEPTANCE as ever is the KEY and the questions to ask as I have written many times before are WHY HAVE I CHOSEN THIS? WHAT DO I HAVE TO LEARN FROM IT?

At Christmas time we tend to find it more difficult to cope with the unexpected as we generally have a picture in our minds as to how we wish our Christmas celebrations to be.
