Here are 5 tools to get you through line waiting unscathed.
Simply Put Together
1. Get Smart. Start by thinking ahead. Do you really want to go to the post office at noon? Is there another time you can go? One of my dirty little tricks is to go right before closing. Everyone moves very fast. Be smart about when you go places. If you can avoid the worse times to shop or do errands, then do so.
2. Be prepared. Researchers say that one of the most painful aspects of waiting in line is the sense of wasted time. When you bring something with you that you can work on in line, you empower yourself. Here are some examples.
a. Bills that have to be paid.
b. Cards you need to send out.
c. Organize your wallet or handbag.
d. Get all the garbage out of your bag or pockets.
e. Update your phone book in your cell.
f. Answer emails in your blackberry.
g. Work on your To Do list.
3. Distraction. You don't have to be at Epcot to be distracted. Bring a book, an iPod or a magazine. What's wrong with your wait being a time to decompress and have some down time? Visualize how different a wait would feel if your favorite magazine was in hand.
4. Talk yourself off the ledge. Often we talk ourselves into a frenzy. We dialogue in a way that escalates our anger. Instead, try and talk yourself down. "It will only be a few minutes. No big deal. Waiting is just a part of life."
5. Problem Solve. Lots of times we get some adrenaline racing through our veins when we are waiting. Why not use that rush for some good brain storming? You could start by brainstorming what you could do differently to prevent being in a long line. Then move on to other issues. Are you struggling with a parenting issue? A problem at work? Put your thinking cap on and use this time to problem solve solutions. If you can, keep a small notebook on hand. Imagine how much good could come out of your time with a little bit of focus.
Waiting doesn't have to be a nightmare if we decide to break free from the powerlessness we feel with just a little forethought and a bit of ingenuity. Try it. Go prepared. Look at waiting as an opportunity to problem solve or decompress or get organized and see how much easier your day can go with a few simple changes.
Have a great week and remember to make the moment happen!
