It's Trash Day and Time To Take That Garbage To the Curb

Sometimes i get filled with negativity and it gets so abundant that it's hard to find the positives in life. That's not good for anyone. Ever.

I really contemplated my life over the last week and started asking myself why i felt so negative towards things. Why am i not focusing on the positives in my life? I didn't really have an answer for myself so i forced myself to have a sit down chat with myself until i could answer that question. It had great results.

I compartmentalized what i considered negative and why i found it negative. I then started thinking of how it could be a positive instead. I looked at the bright side of these situations instead of the bad. I looked at all the good things i have going in my life. I started seeing a brighter future.

I know i hit on being positive or my struggle with it a lot but i need to. Whatever goes in comes out. I'm talking about thoughts here not food sickos. If i look at things negatively then it's only common sense that i will react in a negative way. Negativity is addicting and turns toxic real quick. It's hard to get out of once it gets rolling.

Now on the flip side i decided to start getting positive. I started turning the negatives into positives. Instead of dwelling on things not going how i wanted or things in the past i can't change, i looked at what it meant for the present and future. I asked myself is any of this going to bring my life to a screeching halt and be the end of the world as i know it? The answer every single time was no.

I don't have to like how the cards fall every time but i also don't have to let it knock me back to square one either. I don't have to let it discount progress I've made or changes that have made me a better person. My life doesnt have to be perfect 100% of the time. I don't have to be perfect. Live and learn, move past things and don't forget to keep living. Find things to laugh about and keep smiling even over the smallest of things because that too becomes addictive. Perfection is boring and i like the fact that i obviously am far from being a boring person and i hope i never become one.
