What it reminded me of in the moment was that nobody is coming to save me. In that moment when the water was spilling over, I knew I couldn’t freeze or panic. I needed to find a solution, right there ASAP. Thankfully I did fairly quickly. First I threw down towels and was able to angle a bucket perfectly to catch the water. But fiddling around in the toilet tank is what stopped the running water. So now you know a little trick🫠
But seriously though, in those moments when I felt the panic creep in a bit, my train of thought was, “it’s too early to call a plumber and even if I did, by the time they got there it would be a big mess, so I need to problem solve & come up with creative solutions”.
Even in the moment, I found the situation quite humorous, I’m there in my robe, early morning, my plan was to have a peaceful, slow morning and here I am trying to stopping a running toilet. The universe has a weird sense of humor. After situations like these, I’m always asking myself, “what exactly was the lesson here?? This seemingly random inconvenience - what was the point lol? Because I don’t believe anything is random and there are lessons in everything.
It was a good reminder that I got me and I can face whatever flows into my life, pun intended 😂 It reminded me not to take life too seriously, to laugh a little more & to let go of control, because despite what I might think, I’m not in control anyways🥴 and life is not that serious.
