The ebb and flow of everyday life

Every so often, I find myself back on the emotional rollercoaster again. Fortunately over recent months, the peaks and troughs have become more manageable. I think it has partly been helped by a shift in my attitude towards them – I’m much more inclined to treat them as part of the normal ebb and flow of daily life rather than plunging into the depths of despair and assuming that everything is wrong just because I’ve had a bad day. I’m learning to take a step back, take a deep breath, pray and then respond rather than just react to the situation.
