Can I Really Be Happy
Day 1...and counting.
So this morning, the man ate candy I had set out for my secret pal at work, the girl made it pretty clear that I'm not on the top of her "People I Like" list, and I tried to do our budget and realized - I HAVE NO MONEY - and had to ask to borrow from my parents...still waiting to hear back. It'd be pretty easy to be unhappy, but I'm choosing not to do that!
So, feeling rather like an alcoholic, I'm going through the steps:
- Think Gratitude – Okay, so I have an amazing sister that would do anything for me. (She even offered not to cash a $15 dollar check I wrote her...like that would help!) I have a humidifier...if you have dry skin, you'd understand! And I have curly hair that I did not have to style for hours this morning.
- Choose Happiness – Even though I could focus on all the negative things in my life, I'm not going to. See, I can do this.
- Simplicity = Joy – Just trying not to over complicate anything today. My mind has a habit of doing that.
- Review Nightly – This is yet to come, but I bet it will be hard tonight.
- Minimize Negative Influences – This one may be hard, unless I'm thinking about moving out of my house!
You think 60,000 thoughts a day. Don't waste 59.999 of them on negative thoughts!
That will be my mantra for today. I will be happy!!!!!!!!!!!
