How to Mentally Cope with Schedule Changes

#282
Good morning.
My child has had a fever since the night before last. 38 degrees Celsius💦
It was 37.2 degrees Celsius yesterday morning💦
Hmm. I pray it's not the flu🙏

The reason is that I had already pushed back two appointments that were scheduled during our family's flu infection week to this week. They were a school counselor consultation and my own health checkup. Do I have to reschedule them again??

I hate it when plans change. Having to change plans a second time is a bit tough.

Measures to reduce the feeling of aversionI looked up.

• Calmly accept the current situation: Even if you feel frustrated that things aren't going as planned, it is important to first calmly grasp the situation.

• Have flexible thinking: Instead of focusing on parts you cannot control, think about doing your best within the scope you can handle.

• Plan for after the change: If there is a sudden change, thinking concretely about the outlook after the change and the actions you should take will reduce anxiety.

• Practice mindfulness: By making mindfulness a habit, it becomes a practice to face yourself, calm your state of mind, and increase your ability to respond to change.

• Empathize: Sometimes just acknowledging and empathizing with your own feelings can make you feel better.

Alright! I'll incorporate these!
