Sometimes it doesn’t pay…

Think I’m okay posting this here …

The landlady’s handyman was here…he changed the lock. It was one of them SmartKey things. Groceries were delivered as he was working. He’s telling me he don’t know how to rekey, while some poor young immigrant is delivering groceries.

Doesn’t sound like a big thing, but I’m dissociating big time…

Gotta go, llady just txt’ed me 6 times…🙄
 
Little annoyances can really throw us off. What I do, which may or may not work for you, is to pay attention to what is going on inside of me. Am I getting over stimulated. Are too many people talking at me at once? I take some deep breaths and do a reality check. Am I over reacting ( usually). I drink some water and try to calm myself. I slow down and pause before speaking.
 
You got two people on your space, and someone else contacting you 6 times, with problems to navigate.
If you're stressed and this just adds stress, then yep switching off makes sense.

There is the article on here about the stress cup, which is always helpful to look at.
