We all have our days when everything just goes straight down the crapper and it feels like the entire world is out to get you. So, how does a person stay motivated or positive, especially on days like that?
Because in reality, it's a huge challenge when you are already discouraged over that bad day.
But just how is it possible to STAY POSITIVE when it feels like the world is out to see you fail in life, blow after painstaking blow.
Believe me, I'm right there beside you with that. And if you are anything like me, you focus on the negative instead of the positive.
In other words, instead of seeing the $500 Christmas Bonus your boss gave you, you focused on the $2000 name brand purse you didn't get for Christmas.
You were well aware of what you didn't get and chose not to see what you already had. We ignore the positive and dwell on the negative.
Instead of celebrating the little victory like that $500 Christmas bonus, we worry about the one thing that didn't go our way that day. We ignored the fact that we have $500 more in our bank account and chose to dwell over a $2000 purse that was on our wish list.
The most powerful tool we possess is our mind. If we can change our mindset and see the positive in our lives, every single day, then we are already ahead of the game.
Whenever something good happens, write it down.
No matter how small the win is, write it down.
Even if you are just making progress in the right direction, write it down.
Then reflect on those positive moments when your day isn't going so well. It only takes a few moments to create a habit, and this is one that is worth your time!
Even if your life has been far from perfect, even if there have been really bad days or stress, or setbacks, finding the positive is always worth it.
That one small habit of writing down all of the good things, those positive moments, can make a huge impact in your life. It allows you to focus on the positive, even when life brings you down.
