April 4

Look objectively

What if you decided to welcome the problems instead of dread them? Would that make any difference in the way you felt, in your level of anxiety from day to day, moment to moment?

What if you were to remind yourself that you’ve made it through every challenge you’ve ever encountered? Would you perhaps develop a little more confidence and raise your expectations?

What if you came to the realization that dwelling on resentment provides absolutely no value to your life? Is it likely that you’d find more positive and productive ways to focus the magnificent power of your attention?

Step back from what you’re thinking and doing, and see all that you’ve been getting right. While you’re there, notice also the thoughts and actions that do not help you at all.

Be kind to yourself by being honest with yourself. Be respectful of your abilities by pointing them where they will do some real good.

It’s certainly easy to get drawn into negative patterns, yet with some self realization, it’s not particularly difficult to get out. Look objectively at how you’ve been living, and get excited about all the improvements you can make.
