I lost my temper in a big way. I’m ashamed of myself. I thought I had controlled this negative piece of myself, but there it was on full display.
What good does meditation and mindfulness get me if I can’t put it into action during those heated moments?
I’m too old for this. I’ve had a widowmaker heart attack. My blood pressure is jacked up. I’m 75. Why should I get so heated up over a business matter that doesn’t mean much in the big scheme of things?
Here’s my message to myself: It’s okay. The world is not at risk. I didn’t hurt anybody, at least physically.
I’ve made my amends. I’m truly sorry for going over the top. I’m human. We all screw up.
Now I have to remember what my mantra is.
And say it over and over again.
