It
has been several days since I’ve had the inclination, energy, desire, ability,
or brainpower to write after my workday. Nearly one month after they flipped
the switch on the integration for my department at the merged company, the
gifts of transition keep giving. Are
they necessarily bad? Not at all! But change is stressful even in the most
positive circumstances. I can see that I will like my new role. However, the
challenges of morphing into the new structure are palpable. So it was no surprise that my dentist
recommended I use a mouth-guard at night to prevent my grinding my pearly
whites to nubs before I retire.
I’ve
already bitten through and destroyed 2 custom mouth guards. I am not willing to
undergo the process of having a third created nor do I relish the financial
output not covered by my dental insurance to have a 3rd custom
product designed. So, I’ve decided to use an over-the-counter product at $30 a
shot to see if I get a bigger bang for my buck. Time will tell.
Since
yoga and gardening alone are not relieving my tension, I decided to focus on
the characteristics I want to cultivate to thrive in my new environment. One of
the tools I learned during my years in Al Anon was to consider something for
which I feel gratefulness using every letter of the Alphabet. So, today while
in Shivasana during my yoga practice I concentrated on what I want to cultivate
in my life:

Q-

R-
Resourcefulness
S-
Serenity
T-
Tranquility
U-
Understanding
V-

W- Wonder
Z – Zestiness
