When Stuff Happens: Try Plan B
By Shlomo Maital
Stuff happens. You miss your flight. Or it is cancelled. You have a doctor’s appointment and can’t get a taxi to save your life. You prepare a great supper – and burn the rice.
Stuff happens. These days, a whole lot of stuff happens. Some of it is small stuff, personal or family things, some of it is big stuff, national and global politics. Not much can be done about the latter – but you can use Plan B on the small stuff.
Lacking a taxi I used Plan B – a 2 kms. (1.2 miles) walk uphill to the doctor. I had that in my mind from the start. In case stuff happens – plan B. It helped toward fitness, and felt good. A good walk.
If you have a Plan B mentality, you never need to sweat the small stuff, which can accumulate and cause big-time stress. If stuff happens, have a plan B in the back of your mind. Just having it reduces stress. You usually don’t need it. But when you do, it can come in handy. And remember – there is ALWAYS a Plan B. The more you use it, the better you get at it.
And guess what. Sometimes, Plan B is a lot better than Plan A. So you don’t need stuff to happen, you can embrace Plan B and make it Plan A.
Sound reasonable?
