Yesterday was a bad day. I was grumpy and unmotivated. Today I have felt so guilty about being so negative. I don't like to be negative and I especially don't like to be negative AND share it on a blog for the world to see!
Someone once told me,"For every negative thought, think of 3 positives." So here are my positives that I can take from my day yesterday.
1. I live 1 mile from my school. So even though I had to be here early, it was a 2 minute commute.
2. My husband and I are blessed with jobs so we can afford to go to the grocery store and buy the things that my family need and want.
3. The groceries are for a camping trip that I am taking with my precious family this weekend.
And to be extra positive....ONE MORE DAY UNTIL SPRING BREAK!
Yeah you!!! You did it! We all have our bad days so don't be SO hard on yourself! Enjoy your camping trip!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of focusing on three positives a day... especially on those "rougher" days we all find ourselves having on occasion! Focusing on the positive can have such a huge improvement on our mindset...so glad that you were able to do this for yourself. Enjoy your spring break...mine is still a month away...agh!
ReplyDeleteYAY! One more day! It is so easy to get overwhelmed with the negative! I am thankful to read your positives! I need to write some!
ReplyDeleteI love your three positives for one negative! Great practice for all of us!! ONE more day!!

ReplyDeleteOh sweet Brittany! I'm glad to know you were born with a belly button like all the rest of us. Staying stuck in the "grumpy" would be the true tragedy, and I doubt this will ever happen to you because you are a silver lining girl! I love your gratitude list. It reminds me of one of my favorite sayings from Brene Brown. "At the end of the day I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized." You're contributions are immeasurable, and I am thankful to have a Pollyanna friend like you who knows how to play the glad game.
