I went to the movies on Saturday. Nothing special for most people but I hadn't seen a movie in a very long time. But I had to drop my baby off at a friend who agreed to babysit. I wanted to drop her off at 12/12.15PM. The person who went with me was supposed to be at my house early but decided to return something at the mall at 11. They came to my house 12.15. By the time we got to my friend’s house it was 12.30. We missed our bus and decided to go to another movie theater because we weren't going to make the movie at the one we were supposed to. A lot of confusion came with that and I got stressed. I only felt better when we arrived at the movie theater and we had our tickets. It almost made me go back home and watch the movie on my laptop.
If I could've kept my cool I wouldn't have felt so bad for almost an hour and a half. I would've been able to have some fun prior to the movie. Because it was supposed to be a fun afternoon. But I ALLOWED stress to take over. I ALLOWED myself to feel bad about the whole situation. Thinking about it now, I regret not being able to let go of that stress right away. It only gives me something to think about. Because it is something I have to work on. I think everybody has experienced something like it. It sucks. The whole mood changes and it feels like there's nothing you can do about it... well there is. But only you can. I know I gave up. I didn't want to go anymore and I stopped caring at some point because not caring was easier than caring too much. What I plan on telling myself if I get in a similar situation from now on is this: Stop allowing yourself to ruin this. Stop allowing yourself to look at only the negative. Look for a solution. Is there anything you can do to make it better? SMILE! Just smile. I know it's silly and it might not even work but I'll take my chances. I absolutely hated that moment. So to prevent it from happening again, I'll try to stay focused on the good and if there's no good in sight then I'll just try to smile, try to cheer myself up. I’m still learning and this is something I have to work on. I have to learn how to deal with this and as soon as I know… I’ll let you know ;) How do you handle setbacks?
