Plan A, B , C, D and E

I read this in one of Paatiamma’s blog post.

“We have to learn to dance in the rain rather than wait for it to stop!” I loved this. But the way I read it and understood it was different

We have to learn to dance in the rain rather than worrying about it stopping! 

Our past experiences shape our thoughts, shape our mind. From where I come, this is how my mind works. It always to try to strike out some balance. It always goes into that alert more when I am little bit more happy. There is always a fear, a fear of something going wrong, a fear of unknown.

I have to have plan A and B and think of plan C, D E sometimes.It does not mean that I am well prepared for any situation. It is the opposite.It also does not mean that I am a negative person. I am not. I try to see the positive parts as much as I can. But I can’t get rid of that mind going into alert mode as soon as I become happy. Somewhere in my brain thinking of plan A, B ,C gives me a sense of balance. Reading and hearing bad things in media does not help the situation . Bad news affects me a lot.

Balance or not, end of the day negative thoughts are negative thoughts right? These days instead of going into the worry mode, I try to strike a balance by being grateful. By thanking God/people for what I have. By taking one day at a time. Instead of worrying I try to be thankful. I hope it helps. I hope these negative thoughts fade away slowly.
