I have 90/10 syndrome. Nobody panic, I think it'll be okay. The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one right?
Here's the deal. A TON of amazing things happened during Fall Break. I cleaned my room for the first time since like...January. (No lie. It was just sad how much crap was in my room.) We had an AWESOME girls night, I DROVE all the way to Union University and didn't kill anyone (!) and spent Saturday/most of today with my dear friend Sarah. I need to write something about how amazing that experiance was! I would tell you right now but I would get wayyyyyy off subject! There's just too much to say! For now, just know that I LOVED it!
Today my mom came and picked me up from the dorm, we came home and worked on Jericho Junction stuff, and I litterally wasn't home for more than 10 minutes before heading out the door for SPACE NIGHT!!! It was so much fun! I think the kids had a blast! Haha I did! We had a moon bounce, hunted for moon rocks, set up the international space station, had Mission Control Center, and the leaders of the group had to wear Jetpacks. (Cereal boxes wrapped in aluminum foil, decorated with duct tape, and a diet coke bottle attached.)
So long story short, my week was pretty amazing. I actually had a day where I stayed home and I didn't do anything. You know the "Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars? Totally just was humming that song all day watching TV. (Not the inappro parts of the song. Don't be wierd...HA!) I don't think we've had a "free day" where no one was doing anything since before June. Definitely needed that!
But here's where my terrible syndrome comes in- one 'not-so-great-thing' happened. ONE. One thing went poorly (I'm not saying what, who, how, when, so just know now before I say anything else that it doesn't matter.) and I let it completely take over my awesome mood. COMPLETELY take over.
If my day were an AT&T bar It would've been about 98% green. I should be super happy with the 98% thing right? But I'm not. Instead, all I can do is focus on the 2% of that made me mad, upset, or frustrated. I guess you can call it "Glass half empty" syndrome too can't you?
You shouldn't let one small thing ruin your mood. If you do, you miss out on the cool stuff. You bring others down too when you think about it...if all you can do is focus on that ONE bad thing then what are you gonna talk about?
Ponies. Haha just kidding
Nope. The ONE bad thing. So here you are gossiping, whining, complaining, or tattling about something thats bothering you when you could be talking about how excited you are or be talking about these AWESOME things you've been doing.
In a magazine article I was reading, the official title for this goofy way to "Improve Life" was 90/10 syndrome. Haha Don't let the small things ruin your day, or anyone else's!
<3 A little piece of me.
Good word. Don't let one thing that seems like a bad thing to you get you down. Who knows, it might end up being a great thing that God will use for his glory ;)
