Coping with sudden change and intteruptions

NAS79108

Any tips for coping with sudden changes or interruptions? I've read eating mints helps, looking for any suggestions of how to cope.

  • I had a situation yesterday, It sounds really stupid, I had said in the morning that I would cook fajitas for dinner and it had been left like that. Late afternoon my son offered to buy a takeaway, I went into a tailspin, he must have thought me very ungrateful. I processed it in the end, I then explained to him why I had acted that way. I had an expectation of what dinner would be, to have it suddenly altered was hard to cope with, he was understanding and said we didn’t have to alter dinner. We did have a takeaway once I had accepted the information. I always keep mints in my pocket, they do help me.
