You know sometimes I feel like we control the happenings of our day to day lives emotionally. I am not one to let feelings affect my day to day life (I hate to brag) . I have had so many incidents that I have reacted in a totally different manner to what the one inflicting the torment would expect, a shock to the 2nd party most times. My main reason being that, at that moment I can chose to get offended with what I am being told or I can take it a a learning phase.Its not like I don't have emotion and I am numb, but I wont let a person spoil my whole mood because of a stupid comment or because I am just stubborn.
I have started a thing with myself where I write down what I want to do each day something that will cheer me up or cheer someone else up. And cheering someone up makes me so happy. As time goes by, you will find that people enjoy you and want to hang around you. Let me give you examples of what I tell myself each day.
Today I chose to
- Not let anything or anyone get to me
- Smile the whole day
- Make coffee for my boss a surprise
- Look for the best in everyone
- Take rebuke as a lesson
- Wear my best shoe coz tomorrow isn't promised
- Make the best food for my visitors
- Do more listening and less talking
- Forgive the person that bumped me in the mall and didn't apologise
- Admire how beautiful that girl is and not find flaws
I could go on and on. Try it! at the end of the day, you will feel so good tomorrow you will chose to do something you never dared to do ;) Like smsing a friend and telling them how awesome they are. Be a smile maker!
