Sometimes, when I am working on a project, and I think I am doing it right but no matter what I do it seems to turn out wrong. So, I get more and more frustrated, and all of a sudden, nothing is right.
That was happening tonight. I was interrupted by a phone call. I could not decide if I wanted to answer the phone or keep working. But, I did answer the phone, when I realized it was a special friend who was calling.
I don't think I was good phone company tonight. I did not have too much to say. And, I could not think of things to ask my friend about. I did tell her about my frustrating project.
We had a nice visit though, and my frustration melted away as we talked. I tried once more, and sure enough, what ever I was doing wrong, this time the project came out right.
That is such a relief.
Lately, when I start a project, I am so afraid things will turn out wrong, I set up a tension of self-fulfilling prophesy. I need to chill out and have more confidence, or at least, less self-doubt.
