Sweat The Small Stuff

It amazes me how sometimes we get rapped up into something that is really emotional, really intense and urgent, "at the time".    On the big scale of things it is nothing. Just another way to handle it, good or bad.  Choices.. and effect.
  Depending on any given mood, a care factor is added into the mix. Large or small, it changes how intense the level of importance is.
    When I spent six years in a row doing the same routine pretty much every day and every weekend, I found that it all messes together with little change of memories for that time. The consistencey blended together and made the six years feel like a very short time.
   When I spent the next 25 some odd years traveling, changeing everything on a daily basis, the memories flood thru my mind to the point where I have forgotten some of them.  It does not mesh together at all. 
  People that actualy get out and change things regularly, will have a fuller life, it won't seem like they are stuck in a comfort zone.  Age has something to do with it too.  I find that now it is ok to have things mesh together, not as active and not too many surprizes.  I would not have traded the busy years tho... cause now I know the difference.
Not to sweat the small stuff, it just is not that important.   Give the level it is due to any problem that arizes.. however, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. 
If someone gets under your skin and annoys you... deal with it.  Don't let the drama win.
Make a choice and stick to it.... nobody likes reruns of a bad show. Don't give attention to a lost cause that is not something you need to care about. 
You don't have to be mean to do this, but it takes two people to argue, it takes one to end it.
It is important to simplify ones life.  Too much drama is not what we are here for.  Drama belongs on a stage to enjoy, not to cause in everyday life.    Get your level of importance straight and you will have a better time of it.
Pick your battles, gracefully admit defete, stick up for yourself.
Don't be offended at the drop of a hat, make sure it is worthy of your attention. It could be.. simply.. you sweat too much small stuff :)
Small stuff. :)
