What would I do without L!?
Today I have been racking my mind with what I am/was going to blog about. So I asked her, and she said write about what we talked about this morning. Every morning I talk to L about – well everything – really.
Lately I have been a negative Nancy pants naysayer.
Why?
Because I forgot that I hold the key to my happiness. I’ve allowed myself to get stuck in the swamp of sadness, unlike Artax I am refusing to let the sadness drown me. I’ve been allowing myself to get sucked into the fact that I’m sick, I’m a bit down and I feel stuck instead of, well; anything else!
Being from Springfield, IL I should just have this tattooed to my forehead;
Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. – Abraham Lincoln
Which has been too true for me, this morning I woke up – still feeling under the weather and immediately was blah. No excitement. No joy. Why? Because I’m sick, why can’t I be happy and sick at the same time. Positive outlook reduces stress, which increases healing time and reducing the sick cycle.
STRESS = FLARES
What if instead of slow dancing by myself to the sad music in my head – I started bopping around to fun tunes. There is no reason to allow myself to drown, I am better than this.
Back to beginning – I texted L this morning; ok ok ok. I’m over this being negative!! I’m super awesome.
I have a great life… there is nothing to worry about – all this will pass and I will be stronger from the sick, the sad, the feeling stuck. It’s only a phase, and it will be a longer phase without a positive outlook.
Positivity = Good; Good = Happy; As Elle would say; Happy people don’t shoot their husbands.
Why don’t I self-affirm more?
Self love has been proven to be affective in changing your outlook. Screw being negative today and here on out; I’m awesome.
I’m good enough, I’m smart enough and doggone it, people like me! I might not say this in the mirror like Stuart, but I have been saying it to myself. There is no reason to be sad, negative, feel stuck.
I’m good.
I’m happy.
My life is happy and makes me happy.
I am fulfilled and I fulfill others.
Try it, you’ll like it…. Be awesome today, you are better than your current situation, you are beautiful, you are capable, you are strong, you inspire someone, you make someone’s day, you make my day and I love you.
To L – thank you for always being my helper of finding silver linings.
