9:03 AM: I reviewed my goals for the month of November. As of right now, I seem to have had, and I project to have, the most difficulty in creating space within the day. It is a worthwhile pursuit and it would likely benefit me to start treating it as such.
12:01 AM: I was in a hurry today. I had made my coffee and got sidetracked just after I finished. When I walked back to the counter, I poured my freshly brewed black bliss down the drain while thinking of all the other things that weren’t my coffee. I always let my thermos mug sit with hot water in it while making the coffee and poured it out as if it were the water. I did not have time to make another cup. Rather than losing my shit, which was on the table for certain, I kept internally repeating that this will be good practice. I gently set my cup down on the counter and walked away. I got into the car and closed rather than slammed the door. I kept repeating that this is good practice and I will not care about the coffee in a little while. I cared about the coffee a lot longer than I thought I would, but I am still grateful that I did not throw the cup or otherwise throw a tantrum. I am grateful for the entire experience as it gouged a neural groove a little deeper to increase the likelihood of such behavior in the future.
