I wasn't looking for lessons, but the past three months taught me skills I didn't have before.
Here are three after three.
January: Postpone the Problems
In the classic Gone with the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara in one of the chapters says :
There were times I would sleep at 2.00 a.m trying to solve a problem, but it never worked because I would be too tired the next morning, and my problem would still be quite active.
Now, I set aside time to think about a problem and the solution. When I have done everything in my power to solve it, I set it aside and use my energy for other things.
Feb is for Fewer words
I am not the guest of Honour.
As such, I am not required to say something. Whether it's an opinion, a suggestion or an idea, I don't have to say what I think at this moment.
There are other people here; let them talk. I have tried this one, and I like the peace it brings.
March Away.
I learned the term 'chasing energy' from Chat gpt and I was kinda embarrassed. I have often found myself chasing energy.
I gave chat this situation where I felt like I was oversharing with a friend ( I do that often )
Sometimes it's not even about oversharing.
It's when you expect feedback from a source but they are taking their time so as you wait you keep in contact hoping they will remember they owe you an answer.
In March, I learned to redirect that energy to something productive.
