About the benefits of sobriety, or the Tale of how the phone returned to me

I lost my phone.

I didn’t notice it right away. Sitting in line in the office, for some reason I decided to get it. But, break the whole backpack, I did not find it. «Probably in a jacket in the wardrobe.» But he wasn’t there either. And that’s when I realized that it was gone. Irrevocably. With all information.

Fuuuuuf! — I breathe out.

What surprised me was my reaction to this situation. Calm.

Most recently, I came to visit the Distance of Nadezhda Muravyova. We played «Traffic Light», dividing situations into groups by color depending on the intensity and duration of emotions, where «red» is the maximum of emotions, and «nonsense» is their absence. At the end of the game, distance players realized the need for sobriety and almost did not put negative situations on the red and yellow colors. However, while imagining myself with losses and disasters in real life, I did not believe in such composure and honestly defended my supposed reaction.

And for the first time in my life I lose my phone! With contacts, information, photos, chats. Losing the convenience and speed of life! And in a few hours — the most important meeting, and communication — through the phone !!
