Simmer Down . . . this has been an often repeated thought this week. It has followed me through stressful events, lack of patience and understanding (sometimes on my part), and frustration over a lingering injury. It is like a tea kettle, the steam just builds up until the top blows off. My method of simmering down typically is to just back away from the situation and cool off, which allows a calmer perspective on the situation before getting back into the game.
Another way to simmer down is to distract myself . . . so a good distraction . . . hmmmm . . . I got it! How about thinking about the awesome little perks to the week? Here I go!
