Something was different about work today. I was quite relaxed when I came in, and stayed in a relaxed state of body and mind for basically the entire shift. I did not run some of my usual programs, with a few small exceptions of course.
I did not clock-watch, I did not once get angry about something, I did not run my "stupid people" program except a couple times for a short duration.
I remember when I came in I was telling myself consciously "don't run your programs" "be yourself" "relax, stay calm" and when I felt a program start to get "triggered" I said to myself "no, i will not run this program, I will be conscious
of myself and my actions". But it was not so much of a struggle to control myself, what I said, what I did. This is not to say that I didn't run a program, but some of our programs have potential to be positive, right? but that's beside the point.
The point is, is that seemingly out of the blue I was doing things I don't normally doing, like smiling and laughing for real instead of the fake way I usually do. I was patient with all the customers, with my co-workers, the time did not
drag by so much.
I read a very interesting mention about how the more concentrated one is, the faster time goes by, correct me if i'm wrong. So I told myself that if i just concentrate on work and nothing else, those 8 or 9 hours just blast on by.
and they did! In my clearer, calmer state of mind I was noticing some new things, like how some people tend to over exert their energy for simple tasks.
I'd like to say that i'm improving myself, but this is a bit unusual. It is a welcome change, however. I just wonder if i can keep it up.
