Written Wednesday 10 AM after a 12 in. snowfall the night before...
OK, so even though I am a geek wanna-be from way back, this is my first post on AR.
I am winging it here, no prior thought, just a quick, stream of consciousness writing exercise to get me started.
I am home on a beautiful snow day. I could probably get out but I really did not want to mess up the snow with tire tracks. It truly was a beautiful one.
I got out and took a couple of pictures, shoveled out a "pee" zone for the dogs, started a fire, and had some coffee.
I know I have more that I have to do today but for a while, I am totally happy with just that short list.
Happiness, contentment, thankfulness, positivity.
My spell checker tells me that there is no such word as positivity. I guess I am going to have to add it to the dictionary because it does exist. I really have been on a positivity kick lately, well, for a quite a while now. Maybe because I am having to struggle a bit more then usual these days (and who isn't) and it really works to deliberately strive to maintain a happy, content, thankful, positive attitude. Do whatever it takes to stop the clouds of the mind from taking over.
Positivity.
One of the things I have found that works is a smile.
We all know that a smile from someone else can do wonders, but whenever I have a negative thought or feeling starting to take over, I stop that train of thought and smile. Not a fake clown kind of smile. A real, make yourself feel it, smile. It works. My attitude changes and I can move on to more productive things.
What do you do to change you attitude when you feel it slipping?
Try a smile, it really works.
