Day 18 - Do you ever overreact or exaggerate?

Well of course you do, we all do. I really hate when I overreact because I'm too tired and stressed. Not a good combination! I suppose overreacting and exaggerating don't really go hand in hand, but there is a common thread in there somewhere. There is something about not staying true or real to the particular circumstance, the need to embellish to the point that the situation is unbelievable, that  is what adds to the story. It is as if the story isn't good or believable if you don't "super size" it. Anyway, tonight, I completely overreacted and now, I'm sad, my boy is sad and for what? So I could one up . . .  who?

Moral of of the story . . . ALWAYS take a deep breath or a deliberate pause before reacting at all. You have the time. You need to take the break . . . wait, then react.

Bye now
