AWESOME DAY: One day you had a…
nice breakfast
an awesome conversation with your mom on the phone
an “A” on your midterm
You felt fabulous that day!!
BAD DAY: Then another day, you…
got your favorite pants dirty
a guy in class was being annoying
you failed your quiz
you come home with a sink piled with dishes
You felt CRUDDY that day! Have you experienced this? Well I have…plenty of times!
My question is: should we allow what happens in our day to determine our attitude and actions?
Well, lately I’ve been allowing my day to affect me. I’ve been running around crazy with my busy schedules… I haven’t been allowing my mind to breath. Instead, I’ve been taking it all in the unhealthy way.
Lately, I’ve been allowing myself to consume in my work, my days, my future, & on myself! Ugh… I came to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore!! I couldn’t help but cry everyday. I’ve been going on facebook, allowing gossip to get the best of me, watching youtube videos, engaging in worthless talk. Don’t get me wrong. All of these things aren’t bad, but if this is ALL that you do EVERYDAY, it will become bad. Because these things are taking control of you rather than you taking control of them.
I literally felt like an addict not being able to go on facebook. So sad!! Allowing myself to all of these things has truly affected my speech, thoughts, and actions. For instance, I used to be very aware of gossip to the point where I have to stop the person from talking because I didn’t want to be part of it. Now, I’ve become numb to it. I’ve been allowing myself to be around people that won’t stop after telling them to. So I’ve come to a point where I stopped mentioning it and simply not talk about it but let that person vent all they want, as long as I’m not saying any of it. But this has caused me to slowly to take part of it! So my recommendation with friends that are gossipers, to confront the person gently and if they do not stop, then you MUST not hangout around that person too often. It’s honestly NOT healthy for you!!
So I decided to get away from facebook for a while and to start going to bed early in order to start my morning on a good foot. Being off a facebook has already allow me to be productive and finish my work quicker than before.

If you surround yourself with negativity guess what you become? If you get consumed by gossip, you are the devils instrument. If you do not engage in in gossip, but are still listening to it you can't help but be affected by it. I used to be involved in so much drama and negativity and then I just thought it through and decided I was better off without it. I was right. I am much happier now and the friends i have around me are true and will last. Just a thought.
