Occasionally the drama in your life can interfere with your ability to get anything done. We all have drama, but that does not mean we should let it interfere with our daily tasks. The following are some tips for how to not let the drama in your life interfere with things that need to be accomplished:

1. Learn to compartmentalize. The truth is we all have dramas in our lives. Some of us struggle with family issues, others weight issues, car trouble, etc. So, if you want to be able to work toward not letting the drama in your life interfere with things that need to be accomplished you have to be able to compartmentalize. It is okay to be stressed out about a broken down car, but not if you are obsessing over it at work, and not working. It is okay to want to work through your family issues, but not if you do that at the expense of daily tasks. So, you have to take the initiative in your life to set things on the back burner for a while. You have to not allow the drama to affect you while you accomplish your tasks, then your focus can return to it or wherever else you want it to be.

We live in a selfish world, we all think about ourselves and the things we want most of the time. It is hard to ever think about the needs of others, but when we do it makes us feel really good. So, how can you get motivated to serve others? Try some of the following tips:

1. Do it occasionally. You will love the feelings you have when you serve people, and this will help you to be motivated to do it more often. It can be almost like a high. Have you ever seen someone with a need, even just a small need, and you filled it? Like a single mom at church with two rowdy children, if you offer to help her out, she will be relieved, be able to enjoy the meeting, and you will get the great feeling of satisfaction that comes with knowing you made a difference, you helped, you matter, and you served someone else. It is like the saying practice makes perfect, the more you serve the more motivated you will be to serve. Service feels good, not because others recognize your efforts but because it makes life a little more meaningful. It is nice to be able to help someone have a better day, so start small if service intimidates you. If you see your neighbor's garbage outside their door, take it to the dumpster for them. If you rent a good movie you think a neighbor would enjoy, take it over to them when you are through. There are a lot of little ways to serve that make a difference. Of course you can also do larger service projects like drive a working mom's kids home from school each day, or taking dinner to a family of ten whose father passed away. Try it, it will motivate you to keep doing it.

First of all, make sure that you have time with your family. Human beings are not meant to be on their own. Family time is really important. Remember that families come in all shapes and sizes, and that whoever constitutes your family is extremely important. Always have someone you trust close by. There will always be difficult times. You might be having a hard time at work or in another relationship, but if you have a family member you can trust to talk to, you will be much better off. Bottling things up inside without another person to bounce ideas off of will cause you a lot of stress. Having fun time with your family is important too. You should share the good times with them and make memories with them. It can be such an incredible stress reliever to just have fun and be silly with other people.

"The control center of your life is your attitude"-Anonymous.

There is no easy answer or instructions as to how to let go of those things you can't control. Each of us handles situations and people in very different ways. My hope for you is that you might be enlightened, and perhaps learn something new.

Throughout my youth I had this strange mentality. I believed that is was my responsibility to help everyone and every situation when problems arose. My dad lost his job, my dear friend developed an eating disorder, and my brother became heavily involved in drugs. My thought; how do I make these devastating circumstances right again?
