Change her mood, not her mind.

No, wait.

Change MY mood, not MY mind.

Mind = blown.

Is she fantasizing about you?

If not, why not?

I was reminded of this today... although I’m not sure why. Currently, this isn’t a problem.

However, today I was reminded that relationships can be challenging to navigate. Why are our minds so turbulent? Why does a change in my life bring her into a bout of depression?

Why indeed.

A call with a friend today helped. He reminded me of another old axiom I knew at one time—“Change her mood, not her mind.”

Why do I lose the ability to do the “right thing” when I go on auto-pilot?

Hmm... perhaps that’s the rub. I should never go on auto-pilot.

Not in work. Not in life. And certainly not where she’s concerned.

Awareness. Maybe my definition for awareness will be the ability to steer my own life... without auto-pilot.

Does that make sense?

I clearly need sleep.
