I have days where I wake up and I’m just not in a good mood.
I’m not necessarily in a bad mood, just irritable and aggravated. I can’t
explain why this is or where it comes from. I have other days where everything
seems to be going wrong… my depression is at a high, my life seems to be
pointless and Newton’s laws are in full swing. These days don’t have anything
particular to do with anyone, nor are they a result of anyone’s
actions/attitude towards me. It’s something I go through. Sometimes, situations
with other people may add to the stress level I’m dealing with, sometimes it
may just be that my entire day is one stressful situation after another. I say
all of this to say BE MINDFUL.
I’m sure that we ALL have days or weeks where we aren’t our
best. We all deal with life – seeing as how we are all living. Everyone has to
deal with stuff, everyone. Even a one week old will scream for something
(usually they want food, or need a diaper changing). My point here is this, WE
ALL GO THROUGH THINGS, WE ALL DEAL WITH STUFF. Remember this the next time you
feel like someone is being rude or mean. Remember this when you think someone
is being bitchy or stuck up. Just because someone doesn’t behave the way you
feel they should at a particular moment doesn’t mean their behavior has
anything to do with you.
The person next to you may be quiet and keeping to themselves
because they have a lot going on that you don’t know about. Maybe it’s family
oriented. Maybe it’s finances. Maybe it’s personal and not really any of your
business.
Here’s a random thought – STOP BEING SO JUDGEMENTAL and BE MINDFUL
instead. Don’t go around talking about how rude or stuck up someone is being.
Don’t go around asking a million questions to find out if anyone knows what’s
going on with another person. Just BE MINDFUL that maybe the person is dealing
with his/her own stuff and may be just a bit too exhausted to entertain you at
the moment. Stop being a pest and
instead, offer some encouragement. Send a private message letting them know
that you hope they have a great day. If you can’t do that, just send a smiley
face. You’d be surprised what a smile can do.
Oh, and while you’re BEING MINDFUL, go ahead and focus on
yourself and try to figure out what you’re trying to avoid dealing with by
being concerned about everyone else’s business. Just a thought.
Much Love!
