If you keep experiencing the same attitudes from people then IT'S YOU not them!

I was just about to whinge and complain yet again about a boss; a boss that doesn't seem to communicate in a pleasant and friendly way, a boss that comes across like an automaton. Then it dawned on me that this had happened before.
In fact it had happened quite regularly, interspersed with really lovely bosses there was a pattern of really odd (it's the only way I can describe it) behaviour by some really weird ones.
The latest is classic; in fact the behaviour set up all the old reactive patterns that I have jumped into before. Feeling the injustice and being wounded and taking it from there going on to whinge and get self-righteous, into indignance and then into self-pity.

Today I nipped it in the bud.

All the old feelings came up - created by a message from my new boss that seemed impersonal and almost to the point of rude. In fact when I read it I was quite hurt? upset? annoyed? but on further reading and dis-allowing myself to go with those feelings I went for more positive ones and like a pilot pulling his aeroplane out of a 'bound to be killed' dive I headed back to the sky.

I bless my boss with love. I bless her with love because she is doing the best that she can. I bless her with love even though I may find her manner abrupt. I bless her with love even though her note came across as harsh. I bless her with love because whatever her tone, I refuse to react to my perception of said tone. I bless her with love because I can. I bless her with love because I choose to. I bless her with love because in blessing her with love, I bless myself.

I bless my self with love for not allowing myself to descend into self pity. I bless my self with love because I am an adult and as such I no longer need to take tones or other petty things in life, personally. I bless my self with love for having noticed this old pattern because once you can see it and name it or acknowledge it's presence, then it is much easier to let it go; it's much easier to deal with it and move on!

I bless my job with love. I bless it with love and I am thankful that I find it easy yet interesting and allows me time to write or go on facebook or check my emails.
I bless my job with love because it is in a very comfortable location. I bless my job with love because I like the people I get to work with and the guests that I get to serve. I bless my job with love because I am getting better and better at it every day. I bless my job with love for the lovely wages I make each week. I bless my job with love because of the days that I have off where I get to spend some time with my friends. I bless my job with love because it suits my work style. I bless my job with love because it is a very good job and I appreciate everything about it. I bless my job with love because it gives me the time off that I want for my holidays and I am really grateful for that!!

I am blessed and I am happy and I am content. I am grateful that I saw the pattern that I want to let go of and I am grateful for adjusting my thinking that in turn adjusted my feelings. I am grateful for the better feelings I have now.

Bless the world with love!! Because some times it's just your perception of the world that is not working and not the world itself!!
