Finding the secret more and more

This is getting a lot easier and I wanted to share my Sunday experience (yesterday).

Like I said before in past posts, I am an over stressor and I freak out about little things.  Well at least I :DID” and I am slowly BUT successfully changing that habit.

Yesterday was day #3 for a class I was taking and I had to be there by 7:45am and no later then 7:59 am or I would be in danger of having to make it up another weekend.  I did NOT want to do that.

I got up early and made my coffee, took a shower, and ate breakfast.  I needed to leave my house no later then 7:15am to be at the location by 7:45.  I left at exactly 7:14am and was on my way. 

About 5 minutes down the road I just happened to turn around and take a quick look and saw that I had not taken out my 1 year old sons car seat for my husband to use later that day.  There is no way I could just not take it back home because he had somewhere to be himself and would have no other way to transport him.  I very quickly turned around and headed back home and by the time I got back home, unloaded the seat, and got back in the car it was 7:25.

Now, old Tawna would have bitched and swore and yelled at everyone and everything on the way back to the house and all the way to the class but NEW and IMPROVED Tawna did not do this.  I simply said out loud, “well I can’t change the fact I have to do this so I might as well not freak out about it.”  I then loaded an AC DC Cd in my car (yes AC DC calms me as they are the best group EVER. So on I went without freaking out.

I am NOT kidding, I did not hit one red light on the way back to the house or on the way to the meeting.  Even if the light was red I would start to slow and it would turn green.  I made it to my meeting by 7:48 am.  I really should not have made it that quick as it always takes me the full 30 minutes to get there.  It was so cool and I got really excited, yes it is the little things, every time the light would stay green or turn green.

Because of this I had a calm and stress free day.  If I would have not used this positive thinking that I am learning about I can guarantee I would not have made it in the time I did and I would have hit every red light because that is what used to happen!

I am loving this!
