Day 14

Just a reminder that you don't have to do what I do and you may not be here just to read. If you go back to the original post it will explain all about these 40 days, and a review is always helpful!

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy sappers, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

omygosh. and did you just realize that you walked into that gossip session completely unprepared and got caught up in it? and don't those horrors of the past, especially the most recent past, just continue to haunt you?

okay, okay, maybe you can't control the situation and maybe you can. and sometimes ya just don't wanna.

Okay, here we are with a new boss, first official day in the office was yesterday. First thing this morning I walk into that negative/gossip moment and without much effort I'm involved. Now, the person starting it hasn't spoken to me in weeks, number one red flag. Number two, this same person grates on my nerves because she lives in the negative, so I haven't missed conversing with her. And it's first thing in the morning and this is the first live conversation with any human (other than those on tv) so far this day. But guess what??!! It's the best time for a new lesson and to improve on the rest of the day!!

So, as quickly as I can I move on to something else (making coffee for the office) and reprimand myself for the slip. Then with that thought forefront in my mind I put on that beautiful smile as my armor for the day and shield all negativity and gossip away.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Let's go hang some crystals and make rainbows!

Pollyanna: Let's be glad!
