If you look to the title of my blog, “Sweating the Small Stuff’,” you know that the small things are most important to me. Also, if you’ve noticed “small stuff,” “small things” or some similar phrasing is located somewhere in nearly all of my blog posts. Paying attention to the small things and the details is something I care about in school, at work, and in relationships.
I do indeed, sweat the small stuff.
That being said, I am also really good at letting go. I will worry for a while but I don’t let the small things that bother me sit inside until I cannot handle them anymore.
Sweating the small stuff on a regular basis helps keep me from boiling over. Although it may not be ideal because I do tend to worry about at least one thing every day, it is far better than waiting until the last minute to do something about how I feel. I save waiting to the last minute for my school assignments and group projects.
So, to a certain friend, who is really bad at letting things go (and who will never read this because she said my blog was boring), I hope for my sake, and for your own sake too, that you learn to just start sweating the small stuff and simultaneously learn to just let it go.
