Does your mind seemingly replay negative thoughts over and over? Does it constantly sing a never ending chorus of disappointments, heartache, despair, sadness, and hopelessness? We all at times experience an overwhelming feeling of being lost in our own minds, in a place that we can not get out of because everything we seem to do or think brings us deeper and deeper in that place we do not want to be. It doesn’t matter how these thoughts got there, but they will sit there, fester and grow in size, unless you do something about them.
When negative emotions start to take over your whole body and soul, there is a way to combat them. There is a way to not only find your way out of that bad place, but could also be a preventive measure that can, and will, stop you from falling into negativeville, and that is changing your mentality and your outlook on life. Instead of seeing your glass half empty, see it overflowing with the blessings in your life that are right in front of you. Realize that not only are you alive and breathing, but you have friends you can talk to, or family you can share your hopes and dreams with. Look around and notice the bright blue sky and the sun that keeps you warm. Get a glimpse of the beautiful flowers that brighten up the landscape or the birds flying around so freely. When you walk, look up with a quiet confidence and not at the shoes of the oncoming people, and when you look into their eyes, muster them a smile because maybe, just maybe, they need one too. Instead of making fear based decisions, choose to make your decisions with faith. Faith in the good things in life will always bring you further than the fear of the bad. Some of you I know, will say that it is easier said than done and I will wholeheartedly disagree with you because I too used to say that. I used to say “I CAN’T”, when in reality, “I COULD”. It was that specific mindset that halted me in my tracks and did not allow me to further distance my life from my negative pattern of living, but when I made a decision to think that “I CAN”, then “I DID”
So today, make it a point to rid yourself and your heart of any negativity it may be feeling. Despite your negative circumstance that may surround you, you never have to let those negative circumstances get inside you.
Have a wonderful day!!!!!
