Cancel Your Pity Party
We all have our bad days. It could be because of something that happened or did not happen. Or, we may just wake up in a bad mood. Sometimes there are situations when things are just not going well. I admit it is easy to begin feeling sorry for yourself and wanting others to share that feeling. In life we have to play the hand we are dealt but find ways to make the best play. Whining and fretting does not help the situation. We may be inclined to wallow in pity and decide to throw a pity party to which we invite any and everyone. Well, forget it! You may find that you are the only one attending your pity party. Feeling sorry for yourself accomplishes nothing and people don’t enjoy being around someone who is crying the blues.
When you are feeling sorry for yourself remember the serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.
