Thoughts on my outlook...
Keeping the positive outlook lately has been hard. Real hard. But I try. I do some kind of affirmation (generally) as I am getting myself around for the day, between brushing teeth or maybe in the shower. "It will be a good day" I tell myself. And generally, it is. Since starting the affirmations around 2-3 weeks ago, I've experienced less in the way of problems, but it has been the hardest on me in terms of home-stress and home-bound problems. I wonder if I am programming my day wrong? I don't think so because I'm saying "a good day" not just "a good day at work" nor am I programming it with such intention (that I am aware of).
So I figure I've influenced the situation through word, affirmation and action as much as is possible. Maybe these days full of stress really are 'good' in that they keep me busy, keep me active, away from the computer and in the 'real world' (overrated as it is!) and keep me from imploding. I mean, right now, since I have nothing to do, I think pretty well on vegetating, drinking till idiocy sets in (I don't generally drink), playing video games to pass the time and writing here.
The group I am working with is thankfully, too, filling up my time...I just wonder, too, if I am overdoing it at times. Ah well, I'll know when that happens. I'm sure I will, and hopefully I will have the sense enough to stop and be 'good' selfish and take time for ME when I need it and not be so damned prideful when I truly need help. Here's to it. *raises glass* Cheers.
