Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - How to Create a Better Attitude
Let’s pretend you’re driving on an interstate in rolling, slow-ish traffic. Suddenly, the car in front of you stops just in time to not hit the one in front of them, and you slam on the brakes, barely missing the car in front of you. You look in the rearview and see the car behind you jerk to a stop, and the cars behind that one bailing onto the shoulder.
What’s your immediate feeling and reaction? Anger at the driver that started it all? Irritation with the situation? Fear of the accident that you were almost a part of?
All of those are typical, normal reactions, and yet they do nothing for your mental well-being. They keep you stuck in the drama of a near-miss.
What if, instead, you can stop that “normal” reaction before it takes over and choose a better one? What if you could have a celebration for all the good drivers that were attentive enough to keep a chain-reaction accident from happening?
Which of those reactions – the “normal” one or the enlightened one – will help you tell a better story when you get to your destination? Which of those reactions – the “normal” one or the enlightened one – will help you have a better day?
The choice is yours, and here’s a secret – it always is.
