After signing the lease our property management sent in the janitors to vacuum for the first time since Covid. One of the other tenants in our building had little kids in weeks ago, and they made a mess with food crumbs, dirty shoes and confetti stars. I resisted the chore myself so as to avoid further resentment toward our landlords and instead made up it was our own galaxy.
Now that he has vacuumed up the stars, we are living in a different galaxy. In this one, Bob walks to the Cherry Blossoms on the Quad, we teach his classes together and the fresh clean foyer welcomes students and clients. Resolved to continue here with Hatha Yoga Center for 2 more years, we settle in to this galaxy.
How is your galaxy? What creative choices do you make to avoid resentment? Ki to Happiness shares her strategies with you.
