With all the negative and
pessimistic news thrown at us from every angle, it is easy to be sucked down
into a less than good mood or place. I
call it the pile on effect. During a
recent conversation about taxes, I was the one that piled on specifically about
property taxes. I consciously heard the
pitch in my voice change, and as soon as the complaint left my lips, I thought,
“At least I have the money to pay the taxes.”
Daily, we all encounter some
less than favorable conversation or person that provides an opportunity to be
spun up or off in the weeds of bitchiness.
The next time you feel the urge to complain about your job, redirect it
to I am thankful that I have a job. When
you yell at the “stupid” drivers in traffic, redirect it to being thankful that
you have a vehicle to drive. A little
redirect in thinking can change your whole day.
We all need gentle reminders about the goodness we have in our life.
