Lawn Mower Temper Tantrums

I recently had the experience of throwing a temper tantrum which allowed me to observe myself and laugh.

 
I was mowing the lawn and I have allergies to grass.  This is often frustrating as I would mow then sneeze, continue mowing and sneezing, trying at the same time not to run over the lawn mower cord and then getting frustrated and trying to mow faster so I could stop sneezing sooner.  I’m sure my neighbours find it comical to watch me when I cut the lawn.
 
On this one occasion, the weather was hot outside and I was sweating.  My sneezing was very frequent and I had managed on several occasions to get the cord tangled...and then I had it.  I threw my arms in the air and exclaimed that I was never going to mow the lawn again.  I stomped off into the house and got some water and came back out.
 
After cooling down a bit, I continued to do the lawn and was left with a tangled mess of a cord.  After finishing, I opened my garage door, put away the lawn mower and threw the tangled mess of a cord on the floor.  I texted my husband and told him that there was a tangled cord on the garage floor when he got home and he was not to ask questions about it but to put it away...
 
I wanted to throw the lawn mower over the fence and just get rid of it...too bad it’s quite heavy.  
 
After calming down (again), I was able to laugh at myself.  I had just had a temper tantrum.  I realised also that I was blaming an inanimate object for my situation.  How is it that my lawn mower could be responsible for my allergies to grass?  
 
When you’re mind is in an overly emotional state, you don’t always make the best choices.  Another lesson, I was looking for something (lawn mower) to blame for my situation.
 
Do you ever find yourself reacting emotionally and then laughing?  Comment below and let me know.

"I barely have the words to thank you for the pos­i­tive changes you have facil­i­tated in my phys­i­cal health and well being. When I started, I was stressed and expe­ri­enc­ing ower back pain and mobil­ity issues. In the past three months I have expe­ri­enced com­plete relax­ation at your warm and skilled hands and learned to carry this feel­ing through to my day to day life.  You have taken me from a life­long habit of worry and anx­i­ety to a far more bal­anced place of calm and under­stand­ing. You are truly a gift, Dr. Amanda. Thanks so much for your care and your gift of heal­ing."
