Do you ever your hand up for something, get super excited, and when it doesn’t go perfect, you kind of crash down and burn?

I am a bit of an expert – this year, I signed to be the team manager for our son’s soccer team.

It’s kids we know, they’re having so much fun, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

But then the coach was away, and so I found myself struggling in doing too many things – with training, planning, and game days, but what upset the most is people took it for granted.

Just because you’re the volunteer doesn’t mean that people don’t need to say thank you, or offer help, or help out.

And it upset me so much I felt like wanting to quit – because every little thing that annoyed me, every tiny remark, every side glance, became the big thing!

And it blew up in my face – I got so angry, frustrated that I didn’t get to enjoy the time with my son…

Which is my whole reason for being there in the first place!!

It got me thinking – just how on earth do you stop that?

What can you do about this emotional contagion from spilling over into the rest of your life?

How do you redirect your mental energy towards something positive, helpful, supportive?

I put my best lessons learned in hope that it serves you, supports you in doing the opposite of what I have been doing!

Join me this week on the podcast with simple but practical tips on how to stop emotions from derailing your life:
