What to do on an irritated day?
Do you push through, sit in it, vent, sleep it off, snap off at people, meditate, pray? Well, today I'm sitting in it. Too many times we try to put on a happy face, deny our true feelings. I remember being in my first year of acting school and when I would cry I would leave class to "pull myself together", finally a teacher said, "you know you don't have to leave the room just because you cry". From then on I stayed and though it was hard and embarrassing at first, I would cry, get it out, get passed it, and move on. I'm sure that thought can apply to irritation too. How often do we really allow ourselves to be shitty if we want? Or maybe I should refrain the question to ask, how often do I? Because I certainly know people who sit in their irritation/crankiness/pissiness, own it and make no excuses for it. Granted you want to stay clear from them, but at least it's honest and I bet they feel pretty good once they get passed it. And shouldn't we have enough faith in ourselves and in the people in our lives to know that they won't judge us on this one moment/day? Look, big-ups to people who are always happy, always see the positive- maybe they were Golden Retrievers in their past lives and good for them. But for the rest of us that do get that day of fury, I say celebrate it. It will pass, but in the meantime, I suggest you cross to the other side of the street if you see us coming. Les
