September 10, 2015 Creating Stress

I am grateful that I saw the stress that I created right away.

Rushing around at the last minute to get ready for a trip has never been fun for me. This is something that I know from experience after experience but I continue to do it. As a result I feel burdened by the preparation when I would like to be feeling excited.

There are many different ways that I could change the way I prepare for a trip that would lead to a more joyful experience. Not taking the steps necessary left me feeling stressed and I couldn’t enjoy the last few minutes with my family before I left.

I am grateful that I saw the stress that I created right away. I can use this awareness the next time to create something different. I guess I’ll have to take more trips to get some practice!
