[Weekend Watch List] E de la vreme

Te doare un cot, de exemplu, sau in urechea stanga. E de la vreme. Nu ai dormit bine. Trebuie sa ploua. Esti anxios sau derutat. Astenia. Iti vine un chef urgent sa arunci cu toate mailurile de perete sau sa trantesti conversatiile de pe messenger. A venit frigul si cerul asta enervant de cenusiu. Bineinteles, toate astea ar putea avea legatura si cu oamenii. Chiar cei care le experimenteaza sau ceilalti, multi, care orbiteaza in nenumarate straturi sociale. Ar putea avea legatura cu multe lucruri, dar vremea e aproape si nu se supara daca dai vina pe ea. Si inca ceva: daca accepti ca vremea, culorile sau alti stimuli te influenteaza, poti sa te concentrezi si pe altceva. Pe adevaratele cauze pe care le poti rezolva, in timp ce lasi vremea sa isi faca de cap.

Da, ne afecteaza soarele si lipsa lui, griul ostil, temperaturile pe minus sau schimbarea brusca a lor. Nu, nu putem controla culoarea cerului. Dar e placut sa intelegi asta. Ca exista lucruri pe care nu poti si nici nu trebuie controlate. Ceea ce poti controla, in schimb, e felul in care raspunzi la ele.
