I woke up today with a great attitude, until I got out of bed. If it wasn't one thing it was another. Around noon it dawned on me the " problems " that occured really weren't problems just solutions waiting to be discovered. I was so focused on what occured, the negative, and not the solution, the positive. The old cliche..." It could always be worse." dawned on me also. The solutions really were within me....change my attitude, do the best I can within my reach, acceptance.....things all within my control.
I'm not sure if it's human instinct to think of the negative right away or if its a bad habit for certain individuals. I do believe it's the latter of the two. So with this and knowing I am a creature of habit, I have to change my ways, my thoughts. I have to constantly be aware of how I'm thinking and once I start on that negative path I have to change my thought process right away. Yes it will take lots of practice but practice makes perfect!!!! The reward is so great as well.
I do believe whatever is put on my plate I can handle!!!!!

i always say it's the little things that make life big - well, the opposite is true too. the "little things" that needle at us can just send the day spiraling and ending in tears if we aren't careful.
ReplyDeletewe all forget, we all end up in tears sometimes. i'm glad you saw it early on.

Your blog speaks directly to me, it wasn't till recently that I began to think of "change" In the past I was busy working and raising 2kids on my own I had no time to stop and "smell the roses" I just kept moving, but was not moving int he "right" directly or at least not in the direction that I felt I should be heading. So I began to read self-help books and gain the knowledge that I needed to help me move not only forward but in the direction that I wanted. It is a process but now that I am aware of my thoughts and my actions I can change my thoughts immediately or at least soon after, it is not easy but it is becoming easier and I agree it does take practice and lots of it... :)
