A moving day tested the speaker's calm. Assembly tasks made him feel stupid, broken tech made him feel victimized. He caught himself spiraling and used self-talk, breathing, and delegation to stay steady.
Good morning, everyone. Here's your Moment of Yes for Friday, September 8th. Here we go. Holland and Shep get back from their trips tonight. Uh, yesterday we're in full moving mode. Um, so yesterday was, you know, kind of non-stop. Felt like 12 hours. I don't know, maybe 10, 11 hours. I'm sore. Got some more to do today, and then this weekend But I need to take a break now, actually go give a talk this afternoon. But yesterday, I would say for the most part, on a scale of, you know, 0 to 10, as far as like being able to, you know, kind of like stay mellow, stay calm, stay positive, I would say kind of maybe a 7, 7.5. I had like a, you know, 30-minute, you know, bump in the road when I was trying to install our new internet and Was on the phone with someone way, way far away and I couldn't hear him and he couldn't hear me and then he told me at the end that, no, we can't activate that. So, I was noticing like, oh, I've been doing well all day today. I've been doing well, moving a lot of heavy stuff by myself, you know, nicks, all that, you know, just like hard and then when I noticed like, ah, this is my trigger though, this is my trigger or one of my triggers, right? My triggers tend to be Assembly required and technology that's not working. Because that's when I, I feel like, um, uh, with the assembly required is when I feel stupid. Uh, technology is when I feel like, uh, a victim. Like, this is supposed to work, why aren't you working? And there's not an easy fix. And I was just noticing my triggers and noticing just like how quickly my emotions can shift. And so, and then what do we do when we have those triggers, right? Obviously trying to talk to myself, don't listen to myself, you know, focusing on breathing, and then just needing to kind of walk away and move on to something else. But I think, you know, I think the real lesson is knowing our triggers, understanding our triggers, you know, so we can sometimes, like sometimes, hey, if If I can ask Hollister to do the internet, you know, that's, you know, going to decrease the opportunity that I'll have to kind of get triggered. So yeah, so do you know your triggers? What are your triggers? Do you know why you have the triggers that you have? The more we know our triggers, the more we can work with them instead of letting them work us. And hopefully as we move into the weekend, there's not a lot that's going to trigger you. Yeah, that's your moment of yes for today. Have an awesome weekend, everyone. Bye.
