Many thoughts about life have given me a need to change perspective. Many of the people who have made a great influence in my life have always had a positive outlook on life. Is this skill learned or just part of their personality? I am constantly catching myself with negative self thoughts that really burden my potential for happiness. I honestly think that this "happy horse shit" ( I often refer when I know I am lacking in this perspective) is that these people are genuinely lucky to be advanced in such a trade. Last week I had a lot of time to think after having a septoplasty and being confined to a lazy boy at a 45 degree angle, so I woke up and watched the sunrise and did the mind-body bridging that I discussed earlier. I felt peace as I took in all that mother nature had to offer. I remember specifically questioning my purpose for living in the here and now. I want to make something of myself and be proud of who I am becoming and what I am looking forward to.
For the unlucky ones, like myself, I plan to throw out a challenge that I can't help but accept. To find purpose, one needs to look inside and ask what needs to change in order to achieve life-long goals or dreams. For me, it all comes back to my negative self-talk. I need to start thinking more positively about others and strive to let go of the negativity. I challenge myself for 1 week to pay attention to my thoughts and for every negative thought I have to replace it with a positive statement. My mind may be a train wreck waiting to happen, but I plan to really commit to this and see how my life changes. If you are reading this, I challenge you to do the same and let me know how this affects your life.
