It is amazing that when I have a touch of awareness...how many things change perspective. At work, I went in with my new "keep my ego in check" awareness. I had an interaction with a co-worker that was so clearly about her own lack of self confidence and discontent. Normally, I would have had a much more personal reaction to it. Instead, I really felt for her. I gave her the space to vent out what she needed to (as she clearly wasn't listening or actively participating in the conversation that was happening in the moment) and left the situation thinking I think/hope that made her feel better rather than How dare she talk to me like that!
At home, I was mindful to parent the kids based on what they needed versus what I needed. We had a really wonderful, pleasant and enjoyable night. OK...note to self...Get out of my own way!!
