It's funny how sometimes I notice small things, things that probably would seem insignificant to most people, but to me they are signs of something much larger. Tonight I did a lot of cooking (casseroles to put in the freezer for lunches). As I was just finishing up putting one of them into containers, I dumped one of the containers all of the counter. This made a rather large mess. My reaction was to say damn, rather calmly, find a bigger spoon to scoop up the food on the counter and then carry-on. Things like that used to throw me into a huge tizzy. My anxiety would ramp right up and I would get super upset. I would have to stop and calm down before I could even start to figure out how to solve the problem. Truthfully I thought that was normal. Now I know differently.
I like to see recognize those kinds of moments as they really let me see that things are different. It is also good to be able to look at these when I have a bad day or a bad moment.
