Being Late Everywhere You Go-- Getting A Grip

In an overloaded lifestyle anything can send anyone into a tizzy.  Its a little more to it, than just being on time, or the common advise to learn to say No, or suggestions to be more efficient.    Its a little more than just making up your mind to never do it again. 

Everyone has convictions and will power.  There is a whole bunch of stuff to take into consideration before you fix being habitually late.  There are things like taking a look at the modern 24 Hour Day.  Questioning if we are an Adrenal Nation?  Learning How to Enjoy the Mundane.  Keeping it real doesn't always mean to show off your worst self.  People Pleasers don't recognize themselves as People Pleasers, so quit saying it.  Right now I'm saying that when you are at your worst it might be best to not aim for perfection.  Let go of the chase for that stuff called happiness.  Sometimes its best to try and not being your worst.   For example, if your completely defensive when you walk in from being late, try some of these.

• Don't say word.   
• Watch your body language, be open. 
• Be polite
• Be honest
• Use less words
• Be direct

• Don't be chipper
• Don't fake it until you make it
• Don't appear to be indulging yourself in evil tendencies to be a pain in the butt to everyone else.  
• Do NOT beat them to the punch and rattle off long nervous sentences.
• Don't automatically hand over any excuse.   
• Do Not wonder what you are going to say, give any thought to, create, or come up with any excuses while you are in transit of being late.   

Why?  Because you aren't going to say anything.  Once I started keeping my mouth shut, I figured out they quit asking a long time ago.   Yes, it is quite excruciating to start work thinking that they are going to ask at any minute.  But you will get through it and you will live.   If you were going to get fired for being late they aren't going to fire you for your lack of words this time.

If by chance you do get fired, its because they made this decision the last time you were late and in most cases you probably already know.  You will have to trust that it may ultimately lead to options that will bring about a better lifestyle.

I know the next time you are late nerves are going to be running high and you aren't going to remember most of this.  Get a grip and remember you aren't in any contest to provide the most winning excuse.  Use less words.
