You decide the stresses you take

I was in the middle of a video call, and all of a sudden the internet goes off.

Turns out, my phone which I had put on charging had its switch lose, and it went off during the phone call, thus, my hotspot went away.

It would take 2-3 more minutes for me to get back to the call.

So here’s what I did: I ate peanuts. Got myself energised. Took zero stress.

Of course this error need not be repeated the next time. But for now, there was nothing worth stressing. I could not change it. Even if I could, stress won’t help.

Sometimes eating peanuts is the best destresser. Quite literally.
