Be Contagious

Write down every negative thought you have and trump it with a reason to be grateful. What can you fit in a day? Your smile, your happy, not “you are” but what you can share. Pass it along! If you can give away something people want to take with them for the day. We all have bad moments, don’t we? What has turned you around? What has made you, stop and just turn it around? When you think of a crying child, how do you get them to turn their frown upside down? Do you hold them? Do you distract them, do you tell them happy things?

I am horrible for throwing myself in between people fighting, but am I? I would do jumping jacks and squawk like a bird to get people to turn it around. People get fixated in the moment, absolutely ignoring reason. Now I’m not saying to get in between a brawl, I just think if a good mood is happening within you, share it. Negativity breeds more negativity, just like if you are talking about a blue car, you see blue cars all day long. So be the sunshine, be the glory breeder.

Sometimes you need just feel your feelings and feel validated, but don’t stay there. Don’t let others stay there. Laughter, smiles are contagious. I never remember jokes, a few have stuck over that years, but useless when I need them. I can act a fool, I can be silly, do weird voices, all kinds of accents, make up words and sing odd ditties. Be fun, life can be crappy sometimes and it all gets in your head and tries to consume you. Don’t let it, look for one thing good to say about your day, just like rainbows, they always show up!
