How I Turned My “Ruined” Morning Around ☕🔌
So this morning, I got to my coffee shop, ready to work… and realized my computer was dying, and my charger was at home.
Immediately, my brain went:
“Ugh, my husband probably moved it.”
“Why does he keep touching my stuff!?”
“Oh, I can’t wait to tell him about himself when I get home.”
I was annoyed, y’all. I packed up, feeling all the things, and was ready to head back and wake him up to let him know what he did.
But then, I stopped myself.
I’ve learned to catch my thoughts, think about what I’m thinking about, and ask:
“Do I really want to give my energy to this?”
Here’s what used to happen:
I’d storm in, be passive-aggressive, stay mad all day, and let it ruin my mood. It would mess up our time together and throw off everything else I needed to do—all over a charger.
But here’s what I did instead:
✔️ Caught the thoughts.
✔️ Acknowledged the annoyance and frustration.
✔️ Reminded myself:
“It is what it is.”
“I don’t actually know if he moved it.”
“Even if he did, it wasn’t on purpose to ruin my morning.”
“I don’t want to feel this way about him.”
By the time I got home, I was calm, and honestly, I laughed about the whole thing. I was ready to have a quick convo about moving my charger (because I still hate that), but then move on.
And guess what?
He didn’t even move it. I forgot it myself. 🙃
Here’s the point:
Your emotions are valid, but so are your goals. If you want better relationships, more joy, and a better life experience, learning to allow and process your emotions is a game-changer.
I used to let stuff like this wreck my day. I was reactive, mean, and didn’t know how to process anything. If I can change that, you can too.
✨ Let’s work on this together. DM me to set up a free consultation (or book in bio) and we’ll talk about where you are, your goals, and how to get there. It’s simpler than you think, and we’ll even have some fun doing it! 💛
