Are you taking time off for Golden Week? If so, I hope you’re enjoying it ❤️
As you may know, I was on hols with family in Thailand last week. We had a wonderful time.
But when we arrived at Bangkok airport all refreshed and ready for our flight back to Japan, we had a shock…
The plane had already left!
Somehow, Hiroshi, Keri, and I ALL got the departure time wrong, so we missed our flight
Has that ever happened to you?
Flights were crowded. How long would we be stuck in Bangkok?!
I felt a twinge of panic in my gut, but I knew immediately what was happening. It was a sign that my Reptilian Brain was going into survival mode in an unexpected and uncontrollable situation.
And recognizing that, I had a choice of how to react.
Which do you think I chose? 👇
Yes, the photo on the right.
Even though we had to pay in full for 3 one-way flights I knew it wasn’t the end of the world and we were able to hop onto a different plane a few hours later.
Lesson learned – double check departure time!
As I mentioned last week,
Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react to it.
You always have a choice.
What thoughts and reactions are you choosing this week?
