Why aren't you looking for the best?


 Lately I’ve been on a HUGE happiness kick. I think spring has sprung in my head and I don’t want to say good-bye….ever! When spring comes the fun-est of times come too! Like long walks, not having to wear a jacket. Or simply walking out of my 7:00pm class to have the sun still up (I know, I’m asking for sooo much!)

I love being happy. It’s when I’m most happy (shocker!) but what really makes me happy is not focusing on the worst in life. I’m a person that is VERY stuck in my head (You wouldn’t know this about me if you talked to me, I talk lots and never stop) so when I start thinking about what could go wrong, I don’t stop till I’ve flipped over every nock and cranny till I found the worst of the worst. THEN (Yes, there is a then) I think about it all the time.  Which is so dumb, because 99.999% that’s not going to happen!





How I offset my mind playing this really annoy trick is to think the best of every person/situation. I fail A LOT about thinking positive. Like a lot, a lot. I think/voice all the time about how everything could go wrong, how this person is wrong, how they could have done it better, why can’t they just be better? This is the worst way you can think of something/someone. You don’t know how the person was feeling, or what they were thinking! You don’t know if they are having the worst day and your mood is making is worst, or if they are having the best day and you could be ruining it with your mood!

I HATE when people ruin my mood. Like strain up, I have days when everything is going wrong and then someone says the wrong thing, I take it the worst way possible.  I think about it too long and over and over and I start to hold grudges.
Grudges are the worst, don’t start them!



I have notice that I’ve been able to find a couple of things that are negative in my life that don’t have to be. I’m going to change it. Why keep up when the negative when you can just let it go and start to think about happy? 
  • What I'm challenging myself for this week is to tweet #positivity for every tweet. I have to change it to something positive. I can only tweet positive
  • Just DON’T think negative, take a step back and say “Hey! Cut that out, you are overthinking this."
  • Don't listen when people tell you to think of the negative, you don’t need it. Trust me
