Mandertherapy

Listen up, readers! I have some Mandertherapy for you that I also recently shared with a co-worker of mine. She's easily stressed, frazzled, overwhelmed, whereas I am quite the opposite. It takes a lot to stress me out or run me down. I go with the flow, the mojo, the okay - let's go. So, the lovely lady tells me about a difficult client she is working with and asks for my feedback. I give and she then asks me, "Mander, how do you not worry about something like that?! Doesn't it make you want to pull your hair out?" To which I ask the following questions: Dear friend, is this something you have any control over? (She shakes her head no.) Have you provided said client with all possible options, answers, advice and/or instructions? (She confidently says "yes!") Well then, I say, why in the world would you waste your energy on someone elses problem? Don't you have enough of your own? "Huh!" she replies. "Yes, I do. I guess I never looked at it that way."

You see, friends, if you have no control over something, why spend valuable time and energy on it when it will repay you with nothing? That time and energy can be spent on something much more fulfilling. Even if you spend it on learning from the situation for your own personal gain. Doesn't that make more sense? Let it go and get going!
