I’m Positive

I am trying to trace back when Negative Nelly showed up in my life. I am a glass half full kinda gal. Somewhere along the way, this troll Nelly, would insert herself into my life. Sometimes we get into a competition internally about the whoa’s of life. One persons complaints starts a tirade of complaints and then the mind gets filled with all the blah. I am not getting into that habit again, nope. Fix it! You don’t like it, fix it! Verbal diarrhea does not solve problems. You can think about it what you want to think, you can complain, it won’t help.

I raised my kids on positive reinforcement, to encourage good behaviour and actions. Now is not the time to invite attention to all the negative things that rise to the top. It is quite common to get there fast in a conversation. I don’t know why, I remember doing a gratitude journal, to seek out the good of the day. I don’t want people to be fake in their interactions, bad obviously comes with the good. Perhaps we can get all the negative out and then conclude our conversations, on a good note.

At the end of a day we sit with our people and hash out the day. Finish those conversations with, “ what was the best part of your day?” “ Tell me something that happened that made you laugh today?” You could even implement to your people that at the end of every day you want to hear, something that made you feel good, something that made you laugh, and how you made someone else feel fantastic. That way a mental note can be made in the mind to seek them out, to make them real, and share good things! I have fallen away from some of my favourite practices. Pledge today to look for good, grow some positivity in your life. 💝
