When my emotions are confronted with truly annoying circumstances, ranting and raving, seems to be their first choice of dealing with the situation at hand. What do I do when this is going on? Usually, I ridiculously go along with this tactic as if I have absolutely no control over my emotions. One would think I would have figured out by now that letting the two year old in me act out without adult intervention is quickly getting me absolutely NO WHERE. I need to bust some chops!
Bang bang bang ... goes my head against the wall. Is it possible to retrain myself? Can I condition myself to simply walk away and toward the higher standard which will hopefully lead me to a state of grace? I would love to be remembered as a gracious, confident and totally self possessed person, instead of the hell raising person whom I may be more aptly described as.
Granted, many of my friends like the overly animated person I become when I'm extremely annoyed. I think they would actually bestow me with an Oscar for some of my performances. However, I'm about ready to hang up my dented tiara and don a shiny halo.
I want to be more like E.F. Hutton ...

Chanelling anger constructively is a much better way to vent frustration, can be satisfying too. Head banging carries huge risks of damaging the pre frontal lobe, and we all know what that means right? Your halo chasing sounds good xxJ
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate wearing my emotions on my sleeve. There is just no holding back... it is so hard to walk away from something that intensely annoys you. If you figure out how, let me know! :)
ReplyDeleteI would hope for you that you would walk toward the higher standard and become the great person that is fighting to get out…but before you give up you hell raising ways, give me a call.
ReplyDeletesometimes life does seem so hard for sure.... I wonder if its to push us to find something deeper...

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. It's called choosing your battles. May not lead to an absolute state of grace, but will aid your blood pressure, for sure. And give you strength for the battles worth fighting.
