So recently, the other day, I hurt my back. There wasn't an incident, it just started hurting (well, I had been doing some flooring). The next day, my hamstring started getting sore...then my other hamstring was sore.
As I learned last year after going to a few physical therapy sessions, everything is related. You wouldn't think that your back problems might be related to your hamstring, or that your neck might be related to your back...but it only takes a few minutes of someone who knows what they're doing to prove it to you.
I wouldn't be surprised if this extends past physical issues, and into your other problems. I'm sure you could imagine how changing just one thing (for example, arriving on time), could snowball into other changes in your life. You show up on time -> The person you meet with has more respect and patience than they otherwise would have -> They are happier and more friendly to you than usual -> That makes you respond and act with more confidence than you otherwise might have.
Not only did you change the other person's impression of you, but your behavior even changed for the better.
What's that one little thing that would be easy to change?

I could change my attitude about my broken finger. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I can accept it as an accident that will heal shortly. This should keep me from being cranky with people who don't have broken fingers and can still play softball this summer.
The irony is that writing this made me late to work. And my boss reads it!
