I did a yoga videotape this morning, and felt terrific. The instructor kept talking about equanimity.
And now my day is turning into one ridiculous conflict after another, and it's taking all of my willpower to be nice, and mature, and professional to people who are not being so to me. I am trying to breathe through the nose. But it feels more like steam coming out instead of regular old breath.
When this happens I figure it's my fault -- the world just didn't suddenly become abrasive, hostile, and completely unreasonable; Occam's razor says it's just me seeing things through that lens. I successfully defused one conversation that was headed in a wrong direction, and was moderately successful in a second. But sheesh. In this mood I just want to fan the flames and get into it with people. Perhaps a lunchbreak and a walk around the block will help.
