I’m still not okay with curve balls.
This is a shame because very often life throws them. There are so many variables in life, weather, traffic jams, and other people’s temperaments; these are the things that can twist up even the best-laid plans. I admire the individuals who can quickly adapt to these elements. Individuals who can recalibrate in order to adjust to the new direction they are now headed.
I have never really been that kind of person. If I plan for a certain things in my head that’s how it’s going to be, how it should be. When these plans change in ways that are out of my control, I become extremely worked up and anxious. I can get emotional, prone to yelling and/or crying, and even stress myself into a panic attack. It’s not the most mature way to deal with the changing of plans. Especially since things typically don’t turn out as bad as I think the will.
So that’s something I want to work on. Learning to adapt. I want to be the kind of person who goes with the flow, or problems solves, whatever the case calls for.
I’m not exactly sure how to do it, but I want to learn to deal with curve balls like a pro!
