Personal experiences, incidents and smiles


I wish I weren’t so uptight and stressed out
I’d like to be nonchalant like some people I admire
Nothing fazes or stresses them out
Cool as cucumbers even under extreme tension
How to acquire a dose of nonchalance
To inject into my personality to make me chilled too
Whatever is the occasion, they take it in their stride
No panic if the unexpected guests are dropping by
Arrange an impromptu dinner, no worries at all
But I guess we are all born with our strengths
So it’s futile to envy what I don’t possess
Better improve what talents I have
Are you cool as a cucumber personality or like a cat on hot bricks?

love the poem and we are all indeed different, that’s what makes the world interesting. I’m th pretty calm and improv type but many people I love are not and we balance it out

I agree with Beth. We each have special talents and perspectives. And, that Balance of types is I think, crucial.

Haha Sadje. I seem to be just like you. While earlier, I used to get tensed or stressed about the smallest of things, now thanks to the calming influence of my husband and kids, I have learnt to take it easy.

I am good at acting calm but inside I churn with anxiety about so many things. It’s really unproductive 😞

The impression I get from your posts is that you are quite well organised and calm. Maybe you are too hard upon yourself.
I am usually calm but do fly off the handle sometimes! 😀

No wine as Muslims don’t drink alcohol. I can check L-theanine out. Thanks
