Today I proved to myself — yet again! — just how important it is to stay focused on the positive: affirming my goals; noticing what’s working; thinking good thoughts; and doing things that raise my energy.
How did I prove it? By doing the exact opposite and watching myself get bogged down in negativity: stewing over my problems; noticing what wasn’t working; thinking worry thoughts; and doing things that lowered my energy.
I let the actions and/or omissions of a couple of people get under my skin; complained about it to several friends; and proceeded to fret over it throughout the day.
The end result was that I felt agitated and restless; got hardly anything accomplished; and ended the day in a mood!
I know this already, yet I still forget sometimes just how crucial it is to keep my thoughts and energies high and uplifted.
