Project Update: Habits - Focus on the Positive
I shall squee about a tiny accomplishment.
Multiple times in the past week or so I have managed to focus on a positive aspect of a situation that had both positive and negative aspects. Insomnia - beautiful sunrise. Massive pain - painkillers work and are available to me. Bits of tension and unhappiness with Rob - thirty years of experience making such things better. Stress of having forty people over - tons of help from multiple people to get ready.
Heck, even the ferret; he put a bunch of stress into a morning that was already overbooked, and I had to look up a ton of stuff in order to do the right things for him, and he hadn't even been put on my schedule (thus I was a little more overbooked than it appeared), yet I was mainly really amused that here was this ferret who was cute and wriggly and I got to handle him and even though he was quite annoyed I didn't get hurt and all of that was even part of my job.
I suspect this is a really beneficial habit and I'm glad to see it starting to take root.
