Positive Thinking
Thursday, July 1, 2010
I know I have laid some pretty heavy information down this week so I figured I would lighten it up a little. Today I want to talk about the importance and power of positive thinking. I have recently been on a mission to take charge of my own negative thoughts. On my journey I have found out what a major impact our own inner dialogue has on our attitudes. I have read multiple books about this topic and I have walked away encouraged. I am learning to cut out negative thoughts as they creep into my head. These days I am feeling extremely overwhelmed between work, school, and being a mother. I keep having my own little pity party in my head. But now I am armed with helpful positive knowledge. It is so important that we try to push negative thinking out of our heads the moment it creeps in. We have to take charge of our own thoughts. Where I work has become extremely stressful over the past few months. It seems no matter how hard or how much I work I just can't get caught up. Not to mention I work on foreclosing on peoples homes which is most depressing. I have worked weekends, nights, through my lunch hour to no avail. Then there is school which is never ending in itself. Then I am a mother to the most wonderful and understanding daughter in the world. I have really learned to quit feeling like a victim and take charge. I try to find positive in everything. I am thankful I have a great job that is secure. I am thankful that I have the opportunity at a great education. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with the most amazing daughter. It is a daily battle that I have with myself to not focus on the negative but search for the positive in everything. If you look hard enough and focus your thoughts on those things you will feel so much better.

I want to tell you that I really enjoy reading your blog. You are such a positive person:) I understand that it's hard juggling3,4,5 jobs but someday it will all be worth it. I'm also guilty of throwing a pity party for myself. When I first moved to Daphne I was so depressed because I didn't have any of my family or friends here. My husband travels so I spent many nights at home feeling sorry for myself. Then one day I just made a decision to STOP IT! and every now and then when I start having negative thoughts I'll sometime say out loud STOP IT!
Ashley,
I needed to read this blog! I have been so stressed out lately with work and school that I feel like I'm going to go crazy! It just seems neverending. At work, I'm constantly around negative people. It always seems like no one is ever happy. I try to distance myself from them but they keep coming back. My kids are the only reason I enjoy my job. They really do make me feel a lot better everyday! Your blog was very interesting and I will try to remember to focus on the positive and stay away from the negative.
