I had a parent e-mail consume me all evening. I know I need to take my school email off my phone but sometimes during the day, I have to work from my phone. I shouldn’t have read the email after hours. And I’ve let it take a total of 4.5 hours away from my evening. Knowing I didn’t nothing wrong, knowing I followed the rules, and knowing I can’t address the parent email until tomorrow. 4.5 hours! That’s ridiculous for me to give away that much energy.

Hi, so don’t keep beating yourself up now, you have realised what you should/shouldn’t have done so just say, “ note to self - don’t do it again”. I know very easy to say when it’s not you dealing with it but I never used to be able to let go of stuff (and still have those days) just not as often because I eventually realised - if you can’t do anything about it it right now just let it go! Like you say don’t spend time worrying about what you can’t change - eg if stuck in traffic in your car, can you turn into a helicopter to get where you’re going - noooo - so think, I know I’ll be late that’s the fact so think of something else, put the radio on & sing 🎤 🎶 (go on, give it a go then laugh at yourself- you’ll feel a whole lot better) enjoy the rest of your day 🤗

Oh my goodness, I can Sooooooooo relate to this. I will ruminate over things for days and days, it’s horrible.

I hope this gets resolved and you can soon free your mind of any worries. But I know that’s SO hard to do as you let your mind get consumed with the coulda/woulda/shoulda!
