Better Way to Approach It

I checked my emails this morning, as usual.

I wasn't happy with a couple work emails I had... I felt I was having a bit of trouble communicating creative ideas back and forth with some people I am working with.

Unusual for me to feel anything but excited with my work, because I really love my job.

Thankfully, I have the luxury to set things aside for a later time, so without much thought about it, I decided to let these emails lie for a while.

Taught yoga, had a fun lunch with a couple great girls, saw the dentist. SAW THE DENTIST! The first three-quarters of said visit consisted of me thinking I needed a root canal, after my hygienist examined a small lump above my teeth. I am holistic-minded, and root canals are definitely NOT something holistic people like to participate in (I won't get into the whys here, if you're interested, please do google it). Needless to say, I was pretty bummed.

So, I hoped for a miracle--why not? Miracles happen all the time. Last quarter of my visit: the dentist (whom I love) strolled in, asked me a few questions, and determined I did NOT, in fact, have a tooth abscess. I had a gum abscess that would clear up on its own, with no intervention needed--this is exactly what a holistic-minded individual wants to hear. In my mind, I had just been served the miracle I asked for!

I was SO happy and thankful!!!

Now I re-open my emails, and see them through different eyes. I understand why the miscommunication happened, and am excited to work together to accomplish the projects I have going.

I am so glad I waited to tackle these things when I had a really positive mindset going. What a difference a few hours can make. I feel very thankful.
