When you are trying to fix yourself sometimes you see yourself going into the same-old patterns. Today was one of those days. It started out with getting a phone call from a co worker. This co worker wanted something from me and was quite rude about it. Initially, I shut it down. But then I corrected the course and explained why I could not fulfill his request. He was still not happy but understood why I could not do what he asked.
As the day went on I was noticing that kept going back to my old bad habits. However, each time I started to I immediately changed course and did the right thing. Making sure the person who was talking to me knew I was giving them 100% of my attention, making sure their opinion got heard, and I did what could for them. By the end of the day, I could get out of my funk that I was in. I started not to fall back into my old bad habits, and I could cause a change.
It did not take a lot for me to do the right thing. It just was me getting my head out of my ass and start acting like the person that I want to be. I know there will be days like today, where it will be so easy for me to just shut down, and not think about who I am affecting. However, for me to grow and become the person that I know that I can be, I have to keep looking at how my actions are affecting the person I am talking to.
I hope that down the road, I will be able to fix some relationships that I might have lost because I was so disconnected on how I was acting. I will make sure that the friends, I have do not succumb to the same fate.
Till next time .....
