Calmly...calmly...

alexpgpIt occurs to me today that I must internalize the relaxation techniques the Zach's been trying to teach us at the acting workshop.
Or die.
That's a pretty bold statement, I guess, but over the past weeks, I have reached depths of frustration that are new to me. And my immediate reaction to the myriad minor, niggling setbacks that life throws at me has become such as to probably raise my blood pressure by an unhealthy amount, thereby putting undue wear and tear on my ticker and the associated piping.
I must learn to change my reaction to life's slings and arrows from one of alarm (maybe not the right word, but it'll do here) to one of calmness.
I'm sitting here, recalling the title of a popular book that goes something along the lines of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff (and it's all small stuff). The author has a point.
It's really all small stuff. I can accept that on an intellectual level.
Now, I've got to convince myself on an emotional level. Hard, perhaps, but the hardest part - understanding what course I must take - is done.
Cheers...
