breathing vs. thinking
Meditation interrupts the thought process. One technique, counting breaths, doesn’t require you to sit with your eyes closed. You can do it in traffic too. Sometimes that really helps.
mindset
mood reversibility
Your mood colors everything you see, but, if you understand that, you can take the experience with a grain of salt. And sometimes, like I did this morning, you can reverse out of it.
discombobulation
What do you when everything is in disarray? When things get so bad that you can’t put off dealing with them any longer, sometimes it’s a nice reminder that maintenance isn’t what we’re here for.
redefining frustration
What do you do when you get frustrated? You might have good reasons for it, but things are the way they are – so what can you do about it? Maybe it helps to reframe what frustration means.
the will to learn
Some problems will require more force of will to solve than others. But there is more than one way to apply that force, and better and worse moments as well.
