Wandering Thoughts of a Writer: #positive

Showing posts with label #positive. Show all posts

I think most people aren’t fond of Mondays, me included. The weekends seem to fly by and the next thing you know it’s Monday.

Really?

So I thought to myself, instead of dreading it every week, turn it into a positive.

It’s a matter of perspective, right?

We all know Mondays can totally suck, but so can the other days.

What if everything goes wrong?

You slept like crap last night.

You start to fall into a nice comfortable sleep, and then the damn alarm goes off.

You hit the snooze button several times, then finally with a loud groan and possible colorful words, you drag yourself out of bed.

It’s Monday.

*SIGH*

Where did the weekend go?

Can we have a do-over?

I wasn’t ready yet.

You go into the bathroom to brush your teeth and drop your toothbrush on the floor.

You squeeze the tube of toothpaste and it shoots out all over the frickin’ counter.

What the hell?

And this is how your Monday begins.

What a way to start the week, right?

BUT!

You have a choice.

You do.

You can roll with it, laugh at each FUBAR situation, and tell yourself you will not allow these mishaps ruin your day and week.

Honestly, absurdities will happen.

Or you can allow it to get the best of you and have a shitty day and week.

It’s your choice.

I choose to see Monday as the beginning of a new week where the goals I set for myself for that week can be accomplished. Last week I wasn’t able to accomplish all of the goals I had set for that week.

No worries.

I’ll move them to this week.

Anyway, it’s Sunday night as I write this.

In an hour I go to bed.

I was thinking about Monday and decided to write this post and share with you the mindset I recently adopted regarding the dreaded Monday.

Monday night was not a good one for me. I was having problems with my computer to where I could no longer use it, and then I lost my Wifi signal.

*Sigh*

I handled the situation rather well.

I didn’t stress out.

I didn’t fall prey to allowing myself get into a bad mood.

I kept my cool.

I’ll just call my computer guy tomorrow. He’ll fix it for me.

No probs.

Then the next thing happened.

Something Kevin and I both hate.

Hate is a dark and ugly word, you guys.

I don’t use it freely.

We got into an argument.

It wasn’t good.

We’ve been together for over 24 years, and we’re BFF.

We have a blast together.

We adore each other.

Hell, we still hold hands wherever we go.

We write sweet and loving notes to each other every day.

I know that all relationships go through what we went through last night.

I still hate it, though.

We only got two hours of sleep.

Yeah, last night sucked ass.

However, we spent the whole morning talking, and we got it handled.

We’re all good now.

Tired, but good.

So we spent the morning talking, I got my computer fixed (yay!), we took an hour nap, then made a list of everything we want to do once we start renovating Aesop (RV).

It’s exciting.

Anyway, I wanted to share a little bit of my personal life with you to let you know we all go through some hard times in relationships—even solid relationships like what Kevin and I have.

I’d like to think we’re now stronger because of it.

We learned some useful information about ourselves, and now we can apply it to our lives in a positive manner.

Because that’s what life is all about, right?

Learning.

Growing.

Creating.

And . . .

This is your early Monday reminder.

Don’t forget, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Worrying about shit isn’t going to change the situation. It’ll only give you anxiety and keep you up at night.

Things will work out the way they’re supposed to be.

Breathe.

Be positive and proactive.

Do things that fuel your passion and makes you happy.

You got this!
