It's so easy to get caught up - caught up in someone else's negativity, caught up in feeling of being on a never ending treadmill, caught up in a feeling of not being enough. Especially this time of year, there's so much to do and it is all power packed with expectations. Someone wise once told me that expectation is planned resentment. I don't know about you but I don't want to be a slave to my life, I want to enjoy it. The method that I have found works for me is simple program of self care and committment to self growth.
Everyday I make a choice to take care of myself. I exercise, eat right and get good rest. I am not perfect but I acknowledge that it is a choice I make on a minute by minute basis. I meditate and am vigilant about avoiding negativity and negative thinking. I read books and listen to CDs that focus on the power of positve thinking and the laws of attraction. I make time everyday for self improvement, again a choice that I make. I frequently hear people say "I'd love to work out, I just don't have the time." For me that is the worse type of thinking. It suggests that we have no choices over how we spend our time, no free will. Sounds like prison to me. But I also think its short cited thinking. I know when I take the time to do my work out, I come back to work energized, focused and relaxed. My work out enables me to get twice as much done in half the time with less than half of the stress. That's a winning proposition.
