Don’t Let It Use You

I look everywhere. The emails aren’t there. Not in junk either. My heart starts pumping faster, my breathing quickens, my jaw starts clenching. The smile I woke up with vanishes from my face.

Every morning, I check if these daily reflections were sent and delivered properly. I use two personal emails to track that. This day in particular, none of the Daily Yogi emails were delivered to my personal inboxes.

Countless angry thoughts started flooding my mind, “What? Why? How many other subscribers didn’t receive it? What is wrong with this platform? I am promising one email every weekday, without failure. Imagine people sign up and they don’t receive them consistently. What would they think about the newsletter? They would think it is unreliable. That I didn’t deliver on my promise of daily reflections. I am going to lose them.”

Now the anger started clouding my judgment. “Stop.” I ordered my mind. “Breathe. Observe the anger and let it just fly by, like a cloud in the sky. Reach out to technical support and let them know what happened. There’s nothing else you can do.”
