Dun sweat the small stuff...

I take those words from Sheryl Crow- cancer survivor, broke up with world famous Tour De France champion Lance armstrong, mother of a newly adopted baby... Everything that happens in your life has the potential to change you, change your perspective. It can be an event, an incident, a lesson, an accident... But having said that, epiphanies only occur if u think and reflect about what happened, what could be different or bettered.

Today... I learnt not to sweat over the small stuff. I'm not going to dwell on why i learnt this today, but i'll tell you the benefits of doing so. It releases you, it makes you think about what is really important and what is unnecessary. It puts you in the right place mentally.

Try this exercise once... Tomorrow, ignore one thing that pisses you off. Make an effort to not think about it, let it not affect you and say to yourself, DUN SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF. When u've successfully done that, ask yourself these questions...

1) What happened there? What did u observe?
2) How do you feel? How did letting go make u feel, and make people around you feel?
3) What did you learn?

I'm actually curious if this will affect anybody, tell me if it did.
