So, I'm really trying to work on my road rage. Anyone else suffer from it? Not the antagonist rage...but the passifest rage. The one that puts cruise on at 23 mph when someone is tailgating at my speed of 32 in a 25 mile per hour zone. The one that is swearing myself blue in the face when I'm stuck behind a truck merging at 45 mph when the traffic is buzzing by at 75 or 80, and the car BEHIND me tries to swerve round....
So, I got this little article at work. I'll share it with you.
For the next 7 days, in your journal or on a fresh sheet of paper, make a list of all of your responsibilities. Remember to list everything you do for your family, as well as any responsibilities outside the home. Include church, work and social too.
For each item on your list, describe how you approach the task. What are your feelings, how does your behavior or attitude change to fit the situation? Check your actions and re-actions.
Pick one or two items from your list. Over the next 21 days, consciously approach the task from a difference perspective, bringing your character and personality to it. In your journal, write about how you or your feelings change.
So I was lazy, and just looked at the big picture. WHERE DOES MY ATTITUDE NEED THE MOST ADJUSTMENT???
The morning I yelled "
F*&@ing driver!!!" to the person who just about wiped me out, while on the cell phone to my mother was a reality check. Yeah, and I know...I should be READING THE INSTRUCTIONS and getting my bluetooth phone I got a year ago to work too. Hands free driving and all...
So what's YOUR attitude?????
