Choose to Be Grateful

The other day I was on my first day of my period and I was very irritable. The littlest thing set me off into a temper tantrum. Although I was aware during this time I was still fueling my emotions by believing my thoughts about how "periods suck" and "people should leave me alone." Dad and I went to Publix to grab something and a mother and her two kids were in the parking lot with a sign asking for help. Of course Dad and I helped them but as we drove home I couldn't help feeling guilty about my attitude earlier. Here I was soaking in my feelings and believing my thoughts about how I felt. I should have been more grateful in that moment and every moment. Just because you feel one way doesn't mean you have to live your day with your feelings in charge of your moment.
