week 5 - i done good.
i behaved.
i kept my passive aggressive comments, texts, statuses, tweets to myself.
there was one moment i almost lost it a little but i quickly regained control.
and i tried something... there was a situation that in general i wouldve been upset with. why? im not sure. i stepped back, applied the situation to a different person and all of a sudden things didn't seem so dire.
example, my best friend does something crappy. i step back and say, 'what if my sister did this instead of my best friend?'. assigning the situation to a different relationship of mine puts things in perspective. i did this. it worked. and then i realized how petty things can get grow and get out of control. why? expectations.
we all do it - expect too much from others. maybe its those closest to us or bc we reacted a certain way towards them that we EXPECT them to act a certain way towards us.
i analyzed the data, realized the situation, applied the variables to a different constant and the results came out differently. i changed my reaction and everything went super smooth. who knew? this is actually working...
