Negative Nancy

I've been full of negativity lately. Like super full, almost to the brim. 


I can't really pinpoint a reason either, which adds more negativity to my cup. Things are great for me. I'm happy with my job, husband, kids, and life. I have so many good things going on right now, it's almost surreal. So why am I so negative? 


I think it's because there's a whole lot of life changes heading my way and I feel like I'm losing control. I take comfort in being able to take care of my own little part of the world, and when it's out of my hands, I can't stand it. In addition to that, I have an impossible client that makes me feel like I cannot do anything right. Negative reactions to my work are draining on my mind and my creativity. 


Or, maybe it's just stress, or hormones, or both. Either way, I'm sick of my own attitude, which tells you it really must be bad. 


Negativity breeds negativity and positivity breeds positivity. I need to push myself into thinking positive. I need to take a deep breath and let go of those things that are dragging me down. I need to remember that I am a product of my own actions and decisions. I need to pick myself up, dust off these negative knee-caps and take a stroll into the world of positive thinking. 


Yes, I think that's a fantastic idea.

  1. You are so right! You're in a temporary situation, keep that in mind. You do GREAT!!!! You have a lot of things to keep balance with and it is tough. It's ok - you'll feel like this, get over it and it will come again, like a roller coaster. It all works out. Hang in there. "Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you." Maori Proverb
