Stay aggravated or stay on the better feeling thought? | Andrea de Michaelis – Creating my own reality, one thought at a time

I’m a freak about posting things on my calendar waaay ahead of time

It’s interesting to feel aggravation rising in me when I discover a friend did not post something on my calendar. Interesting because I remembered the appointment this afternoon, so it’s not like it would be forgotten. Since I agreed to it to benefit her, I told her it was her responsibility to put it on the calendars. Today I discover she did not. It does me no good to feel irked that she’s being irresponsible. The better feeling thought is that I know better. I know if it’s to be done, I need to make sure it’s on the calendar and that I’m there on time and fully prepared when I get there. The better feeling thought is that life has taught me if it concerns me, if it’s to be done, I am the one who can make it happen. If I can make life events happen, then I can just as easily choose to think some better feeling thoughts to make the emotion of aggravation go away. In fact, I’m over it already. Ya gotta laugh. I momentarily go a little unconscious and this mind of mine starts to think it’s in charge of how I’m going to feel and what thoughts I’m going to dwell on. Crazy mind chatter, you will bend to my will as I think pleasant replacement thoughts and watch the squirrels play.
