Ugh.
There comes a time in all of our lives when we’re feeling a little down, a little
defeated. When it seems like nothing is going our way. It’s not like we’ve
completely given up (although sometimes we have), but at the same time, the
struggle is very real.
You could be facing a massive problem: You got laid off, your spouse filed
for divorce, you wrecked your car or maybe all three at the same time. So
much for that lucky charm huh?
Or it could be something less serious: You lost your favorite shirt. Your
glasses broke. Your dog used your mail for a toy. You didn’t get much sleep
last night. You burned dinner.
The thing is, the negative experiences we have rarely stay contained to that
one issue. They spread. Like a toxic chemical, they seep into all aspects of
our lives.
If you’re having financial trouble, you’ll either consciously or subconsciously
stress about it at dinner, which means you don’t enjoy our meal. You start
feeling on edge around family. You feel resentful toward your spouse and
distant from your children. You’re annoyed when your dog barks or when
your neighbors make too much noise. Little things like traffic and long lines
begin prompting your frustration.
It’s like our whole life is tainted, as our smaller problems leak into the bigger
picture. Like a coffee spill on your desk, small problems quickly spread and
create bigger ones as the brown liquid relentlessly heads for your laptop,
phone and stack of bills while you hopelessly pad at the random chaos with
your napkin in some forlorn attempt at denying the disaster, it even creates a
bigger mess.
That little mess can influence all areas of your life until your emotions
surrounding that one area become the lens through which you see everything.
