I woke up yesterday morning with a bad attitude. It was 4:30 am (my normal wake time) and I just felt off. Like the day was going to be a struggle.
So I went for my planned run.
And on that run I made the decision to change my attitude.
Yes, that is possible.
I acknowledged the feelings I was having. And then I told myself to lose that feeling along the way. I thought of things I am thankful for.
The cool air
The birds
My kids
The excitement of a new project I’m working on
So I filled my mind with all the good I have. And that left no room for the bad attitude I started with.
Gratitude. Thankfulness. It leads to positive energy. And when you have it, it draws people to you. So go for a run. Or a walk. Or a bike ride. Heck, go for a drive if you want. But turn off the radio and in the quiet reflect on the good YOU have and leave no room for the negative.
