I did this layout for SSD's Sugarfree Challenge to create a layout about the things that are your triggers......and this is mine:

Journaling reads:

I like structure and balance in my life. I know that every day things will go a certain way and I like that feeling I have when it does. I know that I can snooze my alarm 3x before I “have” to wake up. I know that I need to leave my home no later than 6:15 am if I have to get gas and still get to work on time. I know that when I get home from work, we will eat dinner, take baths and do housework or homework. These are some of the things that give my life structure and balance BUT when those things don’t happen or something interferes with this - I have to admit I am not the calmest person out there! I go nuts when I wake up and find out I forgot to turn my alarm on for the week. I am not a happy camper when I find out that my husband has locked all the car doors and I can’t find the keys in my huge purse and my hands are full with my briefcase and HOT COFFEE!!! If there is a traffic accident, I remain calm until I see the minutes tick on by and still I have moved no further than a few feet. Being late to work throws my day off and sometimes I need a few moments (or hours) to regain my composure and have very little patience when I don’t have that much needed time. I try my hardest to understand that life is unpredictable and sometimes I can let my frustration go. That is until I turn around and see I have 10 voicemail messages from my boss wondering where I am! Sigh I just need to have my structure and balance back please!!!
