How do you deal with such situations?

I'm talking about plans getting ruined, especially when you are not the reason behind it. How do you deal with it? I always practice yoga in the evening and I find that time most comfortable for me. I planned my schedule this way the other day. Get refreshed around 5:30 in the evening.  Go for half an hour walk after that. Rest and then practice yoga so that I can have an early dinner. This is how I planned it. But things went completely against my schedule due to various reasons. Because of others, my plans got disrupted.  I was deeply annoyed and sad. I couldn't take it very easily because I had prepared myself, put in so much effort, and was genuinely committed to my plans and goals. Yet, external factors disrupted everything in a snap. As a result, I had to skip my yoga practice and had my dinner very late after 8. Have you ever faced a similar situation? How did you handle such times? Image Courtesy: Google.

I try to roll with it so it won’t ruin my day/evening. I don’t want my mood ruined anymore than it has to be. It makes me look forward to the next time I try to get done what I want.

Of course it’s annoying when you’ve put effort into planning your day, but sometimes you just have to adjust and move on instead of letting it ruin the whole day. That's life, life doesn’t always follow our schedule so I'm not going to stress myself over it.

Yeah this happens to me too, more than I like. What I do is just remind myself the day isn't ruined, only the schedule is, so I still try to squeeze in a shorter version later. Doesn't fully fix the annoyance but it helps me not carry it into the next day.

It can be very annoying, but in situations like this, I just try my best to find something else to distract myself from thinking about it.
