Someone told me of an article they’d read where the author described her approach to a happy marriage: she hated her husband for just 10 minutes each day. She put into that 10 minutes all the niggles, frustration, anger, argument . . . anything that was bothering her. (And hey, some days she didn’t use her allotted time.)
What a great idea. It amused me. I didn’t let my husband know though – I like to keep him on his toes for much longer than 10 minutes every day.
But I got to thinking . . . what if we applied this approach at work? Just 10 minutes out of a long working day. 10 minutes. Not much, is it? You do the maths – I couldn’t possibly.
Just 10 minutes – and only if you really need it – perhaps not full-blown hatred, but being a little cross or grumpy, or mulling over a relationship difficulty . . . and then . . . getting on with the rest of your day!
