Are You Sweating the Small Stuff??

Last Friday I was talking to a marketing freelancer that's assisting us with our Pure'ity hair care product business. We have talked about health tips, fitness and how important it is to have the right attitude. 

One of the topics she brought up was about how people get angry and frustrated over small stuff. One example is when driving on the road. When someone cuts you off, what is your reaction? For some people it can be very frustrating, and for some they maybe used to it. What about when someone close to you like a brother or aunt says something that offended you? Are you annoyed by that certain co-worker that won't leave you alone? 

The point that the marketing freelancer was making that day was the small stuff that happen to people has an affect on their attitude, their mood, and even their health. The small stuff that happen similar to what I mentioned can bring frustration, stress, anger, fear, etc. And when those little things happen all the time, it can add up. 

Like my Pastor once said when he was preaching, sometimes you gotta take a hit and keep it moving. So when you get hit with small stuff, learn to just let it go, and stay focused. I know it's hard. It's a struggle. People can be a pain at times. My Pastor also said that if people that are in your life are causing your frustration, stress, heartache, stay away from those people. They are a decrease in your life. Jealousy is also a factor. When people see that you're in a good mood, and they're in a bad mood, so they'll do something to you that'll ruin your mood. 

If for instance you're arguing with your spouse, walk away, get some fresh air, and come back and talk things out. Sometimes you have to get away from a situation, even those that are small, so that you can breathe and clear your mind. Tell yourself you're gonna have a good day. Ignore the people and the things that normally bother you for your sake, and for the sake of your health.
