I've hit a wall, and there are three things you can do when you hit a wall.
You can break through it.
You can go over or around it.
You can pack your shit and go home.
Choice number three is not an option for me, so I've decided to find a way to go through, over or around this personal wall.
I'll admit, I've always been a glass-half-empty kind of girl (...and while we're at it, what is that spot on the glass and who's responsible for failing to make sure the glass was clean in the first place?). My pessimistic attitude has a lot to do with many of the challenges I regularly face.
I need to do something about it.
So, for laughs, I'm going to try an experiment. I'm committing to one week of positivity.
Nothing but sunshine and rainbows.
No watching sad news stories.
No reading internet articles or websites that are anything but uplifting and cheerful.
No tolerating negative thoughts. They will be swiftly evicted and replaced with affirmations.
Daily blogging about things for which I am grateful or that have made me happy.
To be honest, the thought of this undertaking is a bit overwhelming. It's just not my nature to be...chipper. Jeez, I mean, dod you even notice how negative my to-do list is? Almost all nos.
I'm going to take it one day at a time. One hour at a time. One thought at a time. We'll see how it goes. Feel free to send your positive energy my way.
:-)

This is something I struggle with at times, too. Lately, my grief has brought up some really negative feelings and they are bogging me down. It's time that I take more control over my thought life and think about higher things.
So, we're in this together even though our circumstances may be quite different. :)
