TRANQUIL TUESDAYS - Feeling Frustrated? Just Let Go, But Not the Way You Think

Millions of us feel frustrated or angry to such a degree that it interferes with our ability to keep our minds on the important tasks for the day and we either don't get as much done as we needed to, or we don't get them done at all.

 We may even be inappropriately irritable with coworkers, friends, or family and snap at them, causing damage to relationships that's hard to repair.

In more cases than we often realize, our frustration comes from our own inner desire to have events in life turn out exactly the way we want, or to have other people behave exactly the way we want.

The problem with that is that no human being has absolute power over all of life's events and no one has instant absolute control over other people's behavior. 

So to have tranquility, JUST LET GO of the desire to control other people and events and, instead, let's  put our  minds on controlling our own thoughts and behaviors.

That's a full time job, but when you keep your mind focussed on that and let go of that other stuff it's amazing what a relief it you can feel.  

TO BE TRANQUIL, LET GO OF WHAT'S OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF AND FOCUS ON WHAT'S INSIDE.
