As a natural-born organiser (with a minor in people-pleasing), I like my daily tasks like I liked my CDs – categorised by genre and alphabetised.
But sometimes, life takes my carefully crafted plans, throws them into a blender and serves them back to me as a “character-building” experience.
(Surely, I have enough character by now?)
So, in honour of this week, when nothing went according to plan, may I present:
My Step-by-Step Guide to Surviving a Less Than Glamorous Week 😂™
🎈Acknowledge the mistakes – preferably without launching into a full Taylor Swift-inspired soundtrack.
🎈Take accountability – and resist the urge to blame Mercury in retrograde.
🎈Minimise the impact – aka Make That Fall Look Totally Intentional (harder when you have torn the knee out of your favourite jeans – evidence below).
🎈Correct the course – or at least make a U-turn with flair.
🎈Find your perspective – bonus points if it’s not at the bottom of a biscuit packet.
🎈Cuddle your significant other – whoever’s available (human, dog, pillow).
🎈Do something easy to rebuild confidence – like successfully making toast.
Okay, not every day is a win.
But every day is a chance to reset and retell the story with funnier punchlines.
