Today has been yet another day of learning for me. I found myself in a situation where I was "politely dismissed" from an appointment that I have battled going to for months. What stood out to me was not that the doctor was busy or didn't seem to acknowledge my questions; but rather that it bothered me so very much to be "dismissed".
As I was driving back to work I kept asking myself, "what is the belief that has me so upset about the doctor's attitude and actions?" I remembered a few other instances where I felt similar feelings and I have reacted pretty much the same and I began to wonder that that belief is; what is it that I am taking personally? Why was I so upset?
Was it that I didnt feel valued enough? or perhaps, it was that I believed I was "bothering" him and I shouldnt have wasted his time?
I am not sure, but it was a good reminder of the importance to not just "react" but take some time to think deeper about what is really going on.
I hope you are all having a great week; I will blog more later on in the week.
Check out the "Worth your time" list on the right of my blog. I will try to add titles frequently.
Til next time

Something to really think about. I find myself in this situation and sometimes forget that tinking first is better than reacting. Thank you for expressing this.
