What is in a Box of Bothers?

This blog was created to explore my own Box of Bothers.  A Box of Bothers is a collection of those things that linger in your mind. Those life events that enter your mind and take over. Sometimes they are trivial and sometimes they are life changers.  Regardless they need to be managed or your ability to get on with your day or life is impeded.

Recently I flew to Texas for a conference. While waiting for the connector in Phoenix, the ticket agent announced the flight was oversold. I sat there panicked. I did not want to be on a later flight. I couldn't wait to get on that plane. Being left behind was occupying my mind to the extent that I could not enjoy basic conversation. Thus stewing over an oversold flight was in my "Box of Bothers".

Life is full of interruptions, all those roadblocks to clear thinking and clear action. It is my hope that I can shed light on things that occupy my time and offer solutions or at least coping strategies to empty your own box of bothers...one bother at a time.
