O Yes I Can – Live Better
I have been writing on training my brain to think more positive and to visualize good things happening in my life. (O Yes I Can)As a recovering pessimist, it can be challenging to constantly swap out bad thoughts for good. I used to feel that if I entertained positive thoughts then I was not being realistic. It seemed more proper to dwell on what could go wrong instead of what might go right. After a while being negative got so exhausting that decided I had nothing to lose besides a bad attitude by trying to change my though patterns.
I’ve been working on this attitude adjustment for some time now and here are a few things that I’ve noticed have changed for the better in my life.
1. I’m attracting more positive people. I’ve connected with upbeat, encouraging people and building better relationships.
2. I’m less stressed. I am prone to freaking out pretty easy (say “hi” to my type A personality) however, I have gotten better about thinking about my situation before I get too worked up over nothing.
3. I think more positive with less effort. It is true that with practice, it becomes easier to change a negative thought to a positive one.
I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be. However, the road to getting there doesn’t seem as treacherous as it did when I began. I have big dreams and I plan to live them. I have a great life now but there is nothing wrong with wanting it to be even better. O Yes I Can Live Better!!! -ed
