This isn’t a major one, but it is causing me a bit of frustration with myself. I have become fixated with the weather lately. A combination of weather i strongly dislike, along with excessive focus on keeping my house and family cool have lead me down a very tunnel visioned path of late. One I’m hoping to navigate away from soon. It’s all I talk about, but I talk about it far, far less than I’m thinking about it. It’s constant, but entirely out of my control (the weather that is, not my focus on it- that is arguably in my control, but something I’m struggling with).
But as a result I’m finding I’m checking weather forecasts multiple times an hour each day. Logically, I know and understand why these are inaccurate, I really do. But whenever they have been wrong lately, I feel lied to and frustrated. The rain expected yesterday was less than a short lived sprinkle where I lived- not what was predicted. As a result, inside I felt disappointed and angry that the news made such a huge deal out of these downpours and colder temperatures in my area, but they didn’t really happen. It’s frustrating, but not as frustrating as the fact that I know that forecasts are inaccurate but still get cross when they are wrong. It’s completely illogical of me, which I find disappointing.
Apologies but I think I just needed to offload here. I know that I need to work on trying to move away from this fixation, as it is damaging my morale. Perhaps you can relate, not to this exact scenario, but maybe a transferable one in which the emotions are being negatively impacted (in this situation it is of my own doing I think).
