Frustration is no longer frustrating to me. In fact, I no longer call it frustration. I call it challenges. I call it obstacles. And then I overcome. it.
Simple as that. Life is truly what we make it. I’m trying to make my life a good one. As best as I can.
I am reframing what I tell myself. When we tell ourselves is crucial. It’s the ball game. It tells whether we are going to win or lose before we see even start.
I cannot tell you how many times in the last 50 years that I would tell myself I was frustrated and sure enough, I ended up frustrated and mad and annoyed.
I had a conversation earlier today with my sis. Apparently, I was a bit on the annoying side. I was in a silly mood. I felt like being silly. I was silly. It did not go well.
I didn’t get mad or frustrated like I would have in the past. I didn’t feel like I was being picked on or dismissed. I just allowed myself to be me and allowed my sibling to be annoyed with me being me….lolol.
I am learning how to correctly label the things I’m going through. Everything doesn’t have to be bad. Everything doesn’t have to be harmful. Everything does not have to contain gloom and doom within it.
Life is short. What are you telling yourself? Be sure to take all the catastrophizing out of your life. It’s amazing how dramatic we can be, isn’t it?

Note: I couldn’t sleep so I got up and did something productive. I’m trying to use everything for my good. Everything is a teaching moment. The question is, are we going to be a good student?!
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
