The past few weeks of my life have been resoundingly peaceful and serene. You're probably wondering what spawned this new found euphoric state, right? Well, if I had to pin-point the single most influential factor, I would attribute the change to an attitudinal adjustment that I implemented. One day about 6 weeks ago, my workplace morale hit an all time low. That was the same day I decided to conduct a little experiment. I decided to commit for 1 month to replacing my frustration filled defeatist mindset with thoughts akin to those of a champion. I determined within myself that I was capable of performing at a far superior level on my job. The results have been fascinating. Almost instantly, I became more efficient; able to complete more tasks during an 8 hour work day. This has yielded huge dividends as it translates into me being able to leave the office at a decent hour in the evenings. I've been nearly 40% more productive and less than half as stressed over the past month. Hence, I feel more refreshed during the day and I rest better in the evenings.
The positive turn of events at my workplace has prompted me to take an introspective look at other areas of my life as well. For instance, I feel that maybe an attitudinal alignment might also contribute a healthier courtship. I realize that harping on the cons of past relationships has ultimately contributed to the demise of those encounters. Therefore, I've implemented an additional self-imposed challenge; to divert my attention away from the cons and focus more energy on the positive aspects of my next romantic endeavor. I am curious to see if this approach helps yield better results. Some folk believe that our lives mirror our thoughts. I can't say for certain whether that statement is 100 percent accurate. One thing is for sure... I'd hate to be a life long pessimist only to find out on my deathbed that I had the ability to do great things simply by altering my perception as it applied to my own reality. Just the thought of that possibility alone makes me want to start formulating non-stop positive thoughts. I challenge you to start looking at your cup as "half full" for the next 30 days. I sincerely believe you'll reap positive benefits from doing so. I dare you to prove me wrong. Be Blessed.
