Are you taking life too seriously? What does that mean to you? Here is your opportunity to explore this more fully. This will be fun. You will be taking charge in a new way.
What's the first situation that comes to mind when you consider in retrospect that you overreacted? Did it hurt you or others?
Can you think of a time when you responded to a situation in a far quieter way and had a good outcome?
What would you consider a serious situation?
What kind of situation have you experienced that was worthy of “so what!”?
Is that, more or less, how you responded? If not, describe what you did.
What do you consider the most reasonable choices you could make to any situation?
Create a mantra for yourself that you might say before taking any action or responding to any situation.
Use this mantra for the next week, and then come back to these pages and write how it felt to take charge of your reactions in a fresh way
