What if you approached your life as a class?
What if every situation was an opportunity to exercise patience, compassion or self-acceptance?
I experimented with this today as I was running late for a doctor’s appointment. Instead of the goal of trying to get their on time, I focused on being mindful. Instead of worrying about how I would juggle the appointment and my son, I worked on accepting whatever moment presented itself.
It was still hard to manage a tired toddler, but it was also easier than I expected. Without being attached the outcome, I was free of unnecessary disappointment and frustration.
This week, you can also learn to see your current challenges as opportunities. Is there a way you can rethink your life as a way to broaden your worldview and learn something new about yourself? Our posts on why you’re always too busy to relax, and what your emotions can teach you will help answer that.
