Getting up on the wrong side of the bed.


Okay for some reason today you are feeling and acting grumpy. You know it, you can feel it right?  It’s like having an allergy but instead of wetly sneezing you speak out or act out your irritation on the next nearest person. You frown you grunt and you say something unkind like “why do you always leave hair in the sink.”  Or “make your own coffee today! I’m tired of being the servant around here.” Being grumpy is not necessarily your fault, maybe you slept badly or you have pain or an allergy or very likely something else is bothering you but, it is not the other person’s problem it is yours. To get out of your misery visualize starting your day over.  You get up on the right side of the bed, you reboot, you stop and re-start your day but this time you will look for something kind to say.  This time you serve the other person without resentment for their benefit not yours. Immediately you will feel better yourself.  You will feel like you are in control and can choose the be the kind of person you want to be.
