MDA – Week 2 – Entry 3 – Response to Natalie Hill

I had to laugh as I was reading your post. I can totally relate to being uptight since I started this program. I have finally had to accept that sometimes, because life does take over, that I can only do my best and accept the fact that I sometimes can’t get everything done and can’t be perfect. It has been a tough lesson.
I realized that the ‘stress’ was taken out in my classroom this year and I haven’t been as patient as I usually have been in the past. You are so right when you say the first step to changing is admitting your problem. That is when you understand what is wrong and you can change. Your post is easy to read and I can really relate to it.

Natalie’s Post:
I should have been informed about this phrase when I began this program. The phrase is “ Rule #6, don’t take yourself so seriously”, I have been guilty of this since I started this program. I have been so uptight about each subject because I didn’t know what to expect. My blood pressure have gone up tremendously.

Normally, I am the person who is telling people around me to smile everything is going to be ok but, lately that my caculating self has taken over. My mom asked me the other day why I get upset about things so quickly and I said stress. She replied, that’s not you and I said “I know”. Once again I let myself get wrapped up in the measurement world, scared of failure.


I’ve always been told admitting the problem is the first step to solving the problem. Now that I have admitted to being stressed I am going to follow “Rule #6” to the fulliest and finish this program to the end. Enjoy life and don’t let life take control of me.
