A Bit of Reframing
02/23/2018
Today is One of Those Days when my schedule is packed with activity.
One thing . . .
after another thing . . .
followed by another thing . . .
with another thing right after that.
I'll be running around. Away for most of the day.
When I looked at my schedule last night, I sighed a big sigh and lamented my busyness.
But, then, it occured to me. . .
I'm in charge of my own schedule!
I put this day together myself!
And I did a little reflecting.
So, yes. My day today is "busy." And I can choose to look at it that way, and feel overwhelmed and cheated, somehow, that I don't have any "time for myself."
OR . . .
I can choose to reframe the whole thing. After all, my schedule today is full of things I rather enjoy doing or being part of. It's not like I've schedule unpleasant tasks or meetings with people I don't like.
I'm choosing to see my day as "full" instead of "busy."
It feels better that way.
Full . . . not busy!
(And there's wine at the end of it, besides.)
