======================

I woke up. The time was 7:30 am. It was a Sunday morning.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face.

“I have to respond to those e-mails,” I thought.

“I also have to prepare for Monday,” I continued.

“I have to finish those tasks I had on my agenda for today..

I have to call X person...I have to do this next week...I

can’t forget that...”

As I kept thinking, I was starting to get in a “bad mood” and

get overwhelmed.

I step out of the bathroom and I realize it was 7:33 am.

In about a 3 minute time-span, I was able to come up with a list of over

20 items that overwhelmed me and put me in this strange mood.

Mind you, everything else was neutral. I merely got up and proceeded

to the bathroom. There were no external events that happened to put

me in this “funk.”

On the other-hand, my mind, which acted like Google,

started to filter things out depending on what my initial thoughts were.

It linked up so many other items of similar characteristics: things to

do, things to complete, worries of today, worries of tomorrow.

Yet, in reality, everything was really neutral in my external environment.

Moments like these we have to stop ourselves and realize that no

matter what, the worries of today will be waiting for us just as the worries

of tomorrow will be waiting tomorrow. Happy, sad, angry, glad, ready,

ill-prepared or anything else, the problems will be there.

When I stepped back into the bedroom, I told myself, “Wait.”

“Why am I starting my day like this? Yes, I have things to do. Yes,

as always today will have its share of its problems. But why am I

filtering my mind for scenarios that will sour the start of my day?”

I stopped and just smiled. Yes, I have these problems just like you

have your problems, but we have been blessed with another day

to enjoy the bounties of life even though we may have to deal with

some issues in the interim.
