Monday Motivation June 27, 2011 Be the Optimist: Focus on the Positive |
|
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” - Winston Churchill As you begin this week what is happening in your head? Are you positive and enthusiastic about the week, what you can achieve and what difference you can make? Or are you dreading it? Do you have a sense of struggle, more of the same, lack of achievement, feeling overwhelmed with negativity? Our emotions belong to us. We are in charge of them. We can control them. We can change our lives. Make a commitment this week
to focus on the positive. At the start of each day, set the Energy and Spirit
for the day by writing down everything you are grateful for in your life,
especially in the last 24 hours. You'll be amazed at how powerful this simple exercise is in changing your emotional state, especially after you've done it for a number of days. Every time you find yourself
in a negative space STOP your thoughts and ask yourself: How can I turn the light on in this situation? Be the optimist this week.
Find opportunities all around you. Change your life and the lives of those with
whom you live. Be a role model and coach for your team at work in how to be resilient.
