Thanks to all of you that have read and are reading my blog. It means so much to me that you'd take the time out to share this with me. I am touched by the overwhelming support of family, friends and customers!! You guys are awesome!
Enjoying a lazy Sunday today. It is not often I get a weekend off. The weekend thing sucks but I keep reminding myself, it's only temporary (everything is) and when I'm a sought after screenwriter with my name on the lips of every A-list (and B-Z list, too!) Actors and Directors; when I'm buying my dress (red) for the Oscars, I will have the choice. Now? Not so much. Besides as most of you know I actually like where I work.

I am aware it is quite a blessing to enjoy where you work. Most of us spend more time at work than at home. It's important to find a place that adds to your life as opposed to sucks it out of you! Mine can do both, I admit. We've all had "those kind of days" You know the ones, It could be anything from a serious case of the dropsies, a crabby mood you just can't shake, running late and getting stuck at EVERY. FRIGGIN. red. FRIGGIN! light., diner ding-bat - where "it doesn't matter what you say, it aint gonna stick," - ("Maam, I asked for eggwhites." Doh!) to shutting your jacket in the car door or the horrifying "kerplop" of your cell phone in the toilet - you name it and most of us have probably experienced it at least once, sometimes twice! You know the days where it would seem anything that could go wrong, inevitably does.
I find when I'm having "one of those days" I'm extra focused on all those little nuances- I repeat to myself several times a day (and to anyone who will listen!) "UGH! I'm having one of those days!!" and they will nod with an empathetic, "Yup, I know what you mean. " So I was thinking.... why not declare "I'm having one of those days!" when I'm having a good day! Focus on all the good things happening around me. I sure have a lot more good days than bad so, my thought is if I focus on the good, I'll see more of it! It's worth a shot. I'll let you know how I make out. Let's try the experiment together. For one week - focus only on the good, if your day is heading in the opposite direction. Stop! Switch your thoughts and pay attention to what happens. I want a full report. So far today, "I'm having one of those days!" and I feel incredibly lucky!
I'm in, I will focus on the good, only for the experiment. J/k this will go along with what God says to do in Phil. 4:8
ReplyDeleteFix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Perhaps my age has something to do with it, but I find that even when I'm having "one of those days," it doesn't seem so bad. Things that would have ruined my whole day a few years ago, seem pretty trivial now.
ReplyDeleteYou are SOOOO right!!! Focusing on what a bad day you're having will only keep you tuned into that - instead try to focus on the good that's happening - even if it's a small simple thing like the sun shining, the dog "doing his thing outside instead of in the house - and it can change your outlook & mood 100%!
