My Job

This morning, spending an hour on the phone with my telephone provider, working out a billing increase, I wanted to hang up and forget it. Pay the higher rate and move on.

But I saw it as my job. Even though it was something in my personal life that could be put off etc. I decided to see it, to treat it, as a job that needed to be done…just like in a real job…because it was.

I am the boss and I am my employee. Therefore, it is my job to take care of me. If I need help after doing all I can; then I might ask another person, knowledgeable in that area, for assistance.

This has helped me conquer mountains of things I didn’t want to look at, was afraid to see, etc.

If I see it as a job, a piece of work I’ve been ‘hired’ to do, it makes it easier, in my opinion. To see it as another task to be completed, not something too difficult or hard for me, but simply something I can cross off my work  ‘to-do’ list after its done seemed to make the hold time less bothersome. I was doing it for my boss (me).

Do you fight with yourself about stuff like this?

P.S. I got the lower rate I ‘worked’ for.
