Don't Make Your Life Worse
Monday Musings 9-4-23
My mantra this week:
I don’t need to make my life worse.
I just moved into a new house this week.
Moving sucks.
Building cheap furniture. Not knowing where the lightswitches are. Having to see your bank account drain in order to buy one-off essentials and random items.
And on top of that, my Mattress hasn’t arrived. I’ve been sleeping on a shitty couch for the past couple of days.
And I could get annoyed and upset and complain and shake my fist at the world.
But honestly - I won’t.
I choose not to let tiny shit affect me.
I choose not to let minor inconveniences derail me.
There’s no reason to make your life worse by thinking how awful your circumstances may be.
Accept them. Move on.
Continue living.
