I have been watching and listening to a lot of laws of attraction and positive affirmations etc. lately. I have been needing to change my attitude because I have noticed, BIG TIME, that it is affecting my whole entire family. When Mamma is uptight it seems the whole house is uptight. I have also noticed a lot of negativity in the house from my husband right down to the kids. This is not good at all and life is way too short to be miserable.
Back a few years ago I found this movie, The Secret, and it really did give me a better sense of life. It is funny how we forget things and resort back to being “Negative Nellies,” when we know better. I have been a Negative Nellie for a while now and that is just plain dumb so onto a better adventure and more profitable life.
One of the biggest things I need to weed out is Friends. Yes you hear right, friends. Have you noticed that when you are around certain people, you begin to act like certain people? Negative of Positive, it happens. I wish my friend “H” was here today. She is one of those people that every time she walks into a room she brightens it up. I absolutely love how I feel and act when I am around her. So happy, so positive and a joy to be around. I NEED to be more like “H!”!
One of the biggest places to weed is Social Media. I have unfollowed and unfriended MANY people today. I don’t need to spend my life worrying if others are offended. I don’t want to be around them. Again, life is too short. Why should I feel bad that the negative people are mad at me? They are negative, it doesn’t matter, they are mad when I am around. Let’s face it, they are mad at everyone all the time. Good bye!
Not just friend weeding, but getting the heck off of Social Media is key. Why do we spend so much time viewing other people’s lives? Better question is why am “I” spending so much time viewing other people’s lives? Is my life so unimportant that I have to spend 2-4 hours a day scrolling through news feeds of other people’s happenings? Sounds pathetic when you look at it that way doesn’t it?
My son is having some issues in school and paying attention. I do know that the boy does not sit still well and has a ton of bouncy energy. But as a parent I do have to take some of the blame for that when I am up in arms and stressed out. Kids feel that. I want to take my negative energy out of the house so my kids and husband have a chance to be relieved of it too. It will be interesting to see how his behavior changes when mine changes.
