Think Positive

There is so much going on in our lives that cause stress. Everyday things too! 

• Work
• School
• Bills
• Everything!

I feel like so many of us are stuck in these stressful mindsets from things that don't have to be stressful. 

For example...

Today I walked into work an immediately felt the stress settling in. I always get knots on my spine when I stress and when I started feeling those I decided, this is stupid. The day will go on. This will all be over soon. It doesn't have to be a bad day if I don't let it be!

Or I when I was figuring out the budget for the next 2 weeks, instead of stressing over this bill and that bill or wishing I had more of a Savings or worrying about if my credit will ever be decent again, I was thankful. I am able to pay my Mortgage. I work hard and so does AJ. Our children are fed and clothed. The lights and water are still on. Life is good. 

We are blessed. We all are. We are here another day. Our stresses do not have to define our lives. Our happiness can instead.

  1. Absolutely right Chelsea. It is our mind set. If you think life stinks, then it does. If you think Happy thoughts and have a happy heart, life is good.Even though you might be going through some hard times. God is good.

  2. One of the things I was taught in therapy is the ripple effect of your energy. If you choose to put bad energy out in the world, then you're always guarded waiting for it to come back and destroy your sanctuary. Considering this, living this for even a day, seriously changed my perception of myself and the way I choose to do life.
