You get 15 minutes today to feel sad. That’s it. Then you must carry on. You must go about your day with freedom and spontaneity, as though your life is going to last forever and act with the knowledge that it could all end tomorrow. When I was sad, my sponsor would tell me, “You get 15 minutes. That’s it!” And I knew exactly what he meant. You don’t get to live this life again; address the concern and let go. Move on the best way you can. Don’t let your mind take you down a dark road; don’t let it steal from you the valuable time you have in front of you. Remember, 15 minutes!
Reflections
When something makes you sad, do you wallow in it, or do you give it 15 minutes and move on?
Daily Challenge
Start a stopwatch the next time you are feeling sad. Cry, wail, scream into pillows. But stop when the timer stops. Carry on.
