I'm probably going to start a separate blog for this thought. I was listening to various talk shows yesterday and the biggest thing that struck a note was how if you re-frame a situation, you can change it. Obviously some things you can't but the idea is to stop complaining and take action. So I was thinking about all the little things that bug me and how I can look at them as opportunity, or take joy in them.
One thing that my mom always told me would bug me does...the way my husband squeezes the toothpaste at the top of the tube and it gets all crinkled. So how do I re-frame the irritant? I say oh goody, the tube is crinkled so now I can smooth it out and make it look nice. I get to take action. I get to do it. See, now it doesn't bother me... ;)
Now I just have to make sure that I don't get crabby at having to take action all the time... Well, it actually would help me lose weight so I should look at it that way!
