The 72 hour rule applies to times when we may be upset or mad or frustrated. The basics is that if it won’t matter in 72 hours it probably doesn’t matter now. Let’s look at this in some more depth.

I love my friends. They’re blessings in my life and provide me with such happiness and adventure and love, but occasionally they might upset me. I’m a huge advocate for good, clear communication. I feel communication is one of, if not the, most important quality in any relationship. In order to have a healthy relationship you need to have healthy communication. So when my friends upset me I almost immediately want to talk it out with them. Lucky for me, my friends are also good communicators and we have very healthy communication even when it comes to confrontation and conversations that aren’t so easy. But before I go to them, I think first, will this matter in 72 hours?

For example, while I’m here at college I can’t get home to go to every important event. This past Friday was one of my best friend’s senior night for field hockey. I almost went home for it but instead one of my other best friends was just going to FaceTime me in to see it. It’s important to note my friends are not always timely. So when it was 6:00 when the senior night was starting and my one friend was still hadn’t left her house and the other was in the car I started to get frustrated. I wanted so badly to support my friend and was relying on someone else to help me do that and those people seemed to be letting me down. I wanted to tell my friend how upset I was that she was late to the senior night but I thought, will this matter in 72 hours? And the answer was no. A little after 6:00 my friend FaceTimed me and I got to see some of the senior night and all was well. If I talked to either of them about being late it would have only caused more unnecessary stress when in a few days it wouldn’t even matter. On the other hand, this past summer one of my close friends was showing some toxicity within her relationship with her boyfriend. It was affecting her, him, and all friends involved. It was stressful and causing a divide within friendships. She had blown a girls night to hang out with her boyfriend and at this point I had to ask myself, will this matter in 72 hours? The answer was yes. So we sat down with her and talked it out and saw progress! The key to this rule is figuring out what will actually matter in 72 hours. If you can determine if it will or not then you’re golden. This method is helpful because it releases stress off of your shoulders figuring out what is worth stressing about and what isn’t. When you’re able to determine what won’t matter in 72 hours, suddenly it doesn’t matter right there in that moment either and life becomes easier.
