Well, today was not quite so successful. I'm happy to report, however, that instead of beating myself up for getting angry at people (and there were quite a few), I'm going to walk away from the day looking at it as a learning experience. First, I want to make a list of the people I got mad at today.
1. Lisa - for being chronically late
2. Mom - for bugging Zack and I about flea powder
3. Zack - for sitting around all day not doing anything
So I don't like people being inconsiderate, disrespectful, or lazy. What I need to remember is that at some point, I fit all three of those descriptions. I have certainly conceptualized this, but how can I put it into practice when my horomones are hopping up and down and I'm just having a plain old bad day? I know that this morning I was really helped by focusing inwards during the asana practice. In fact, I forgot all about my mood in general during that practice, and I felt great afterwards. It wasn't until after I left Robin's and was in the car that I got mad at my mom about the flea powder thing. I think that I should start to recognize what can make me more predisposed to getting angry and then maybe do some asana or just some breathing or something that will make me more able to deal with my mind's feelings. I should try and think of some things that can help me do this, because otherwise I will continue to let anger rule my life.
