Prompt 22: Identify the Problem

Today's prompt is borrowed from Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project.

Identify the problem. That is, when you’re annoyed, angered, or frustrated, ask yourself, “What exactly is the problem here?”

Today, take a few minutes to ponder that one little, nagging issue that, if solved or eliminated, would make your life better. Perhaps, getting up five minutes earlier would make your life easier. Maybe smiling at that one coworker that drives you crazy would ease the tension. What small change in your life would or could make a big difference?

I need to get better at saying NO again.

I have let that slip a bit and I need to reclaim a few pieces of myself, of my life, of my time by putting that word back in my vocabulary.
