I lost a piece of technology that I keep my day to day life in...
Tasks, Notes, Schedule, Contacts, Email Accounts, Secret Passwords...
Not to mention it cost me $250 when first bought. And since I am a penny pincher even WHEN employed.
This I feel is a tragedy.
Or... is it?
What should I be more upset about?
The Monetary Value to Replace it?
The Fact that my Privacy and Identity are out in the open?
Or that I am at Current Lost on What I am supposed to be doing, how to go about it, deadline details, goal steps, reference reminders that all are nowhere else except for this now gone device?
Either way. In Life, no matter the tragedy. I only allow myself to be upset or unhappy about situations no matter how extreme for about 72 full hours before I force myself to get over it. And that is the max "myrica pity" time allowed. Then it's time to re-group, find the positive in the negative, and move on.
This is a material thing. A piece of technology I created a crutch for. I don't think I will allow myself the full 72 hours after I officially certify it as lost/stolen/speak to t-mobile.
In fact I choose to immediately re-cover and think smarter on where to save needed info and rely on my brain a little bit more the moment I hang up with t-mobile.
After all... how is the pity party going to help me remember the things I needed or get on top of changing passwords? Don't dwell in the negative... use it as a springboard to find the positive and plan for better habits.
