thought provoking Tuesday

It's good to step back. 
Gain a little perspective. 
And realise what's really important in life. 

I have a tendency to stress about the insignificant. I don't know why; maybe because my nature is to be organised and prepared. [I am the sort of person that takes baby wipes to the beach, has a plethora of items such as vitamins, plasters, tissues and hair grips, neatly tucked into a a little pouch in my handbag and packs for trips at least a few days in advance.]

So when something throws me off guard I feel a wave of panic that I wasn't prepared for such an occasion and I tend to dwell on the negatives of such a situation. Which is silly really because how can you prepared for the unexpected. And the above is true; you can't live a positive life with a negative mind.

In this instance I have to use all my strength to find those positives in each situation. And failing that, I head for the kitchen. Because you can always find comfort there!

    1. I think its a natural trait, or genetic. My mum was exactly the same, always worried or concerned about something, mainly because she wanted everything to be ok, the right way, or perfect.

    1. Its easy to worry about stuff, but the stuff you cant control, well I guess its wasted energy really. Its always good to find the perspective in each situation :)

  3. Oh I totally agree with you there on stressing and focusing on the negatives. I do that over and over until the situation is figured out. My favourite comfort food is apricot jam and brie melted onto sliced baguette. So delicious.
