Today was an interesting morning. I brought my wife her coffee (something that I decided that I would continue to do) and asked how she was feeling (she has been pretty sick lately and also hurt her back, which she usually hurts when she is stressed). She said "do you mean physically or mentally?" I said "either, both." She started to talk about work, the people who were stressing her out and that a friend who recently recovered from cancer wanted to meet for coffee today. She said "that really shows you what life is all about, I am not that important, it is just a job." She started crying a bit, so I sat down on the bed to listen. She continued talking about stress from a client, stress that someone on her team is creating for her, etc. I just listened for 10 min and then she went to yoga.
So what does this have to do with me/Shodan...I did not tell her how to handle her issues, I listened, nodded, confirmed her feelings and just was present in the moment.
Other things that I am doing...I called to therapist to get an appt to discuss my controlling behavior (neither has called back yet), have my next guitar lesson on Thursday and am taking my son to Yankees/Red Sox on Saturday. My S7 is OBSESSED with baseball so the expense of the tickets is totally worth it.
Keep focus on the prize, keep focusing on me, and rock on.
