I am as guilty of this as anyone - taking things too seriously sometimes. I get caught up worrying about "did I train enough for this race?", "what is happening at work?" and so on. I then go and worry about things that don't even have a real bearing on anything except for my unreasonable expectations of myself. "I didn't learn how to speak Spanish yet" and "I didn't finish writing my book yet" are the two that are in my head now.
Ridiculous.
As crazy as this may sound, I need to have more fun sometimes and not worry so much about what I'm accomplishing to such a ridiculous degree. This is why yesterday, while I was at the JnJ company story, I purchased a box of Muppets Band-Aids. Why? Because they are hilarious.
If you want to get deeper on it, have you ever really had fun with something as boring as a band-aid? It's a good way to think about things. Either something boring, or perhaps it's a fun solution to a problem or disappointment. You got a cut? It's an opportunity to wear a picture of Kermit on your arm.
Drive Slow
