Turn it around

Occasionally I wake up in the night or the very early morning and I can't sleep. When this happens its usually because of reoccurring thoughts of worry or reliving an unpleasant situation from the past. I start scanning the situation in my mind to see if I could have done something better or different.

However, I know that what we think about we bring about, so I quickly turn it around by thinking about something else that brings me to a happier feeling, a more positive place of attraction, because I want to bring about more positive experiences into my future AND in my right now.

Lately, this "turn it around" process has resulted in thinking about my blog because it brings me so much joy. I usually end up writing about the situation and in my mind infusing the situation with an Apozitude.

Also, I know that I didn't like living the unpleasant situation the first time, so why would I waste my precious moments in the here and now reliving it? There is nothing I can do to change a past event. It happened the way it happened for a reason. The only thing I have any control over is myself. My reactions, my choices, my mind-set and I KNOW that I am doing the very best that I can with my current level of awareness.

So, could I have had a better reaction in that past unpleasant situation? Absolutely!!! We can always reflect on how we've handled things in the past and make improvements in ourselves, but remember it's always easier to look back on something and see how it could have been better because the emotion of the situation is gone. Besides, there ain't a damn thing we can do about what we've already done, so get off your pity potty and focus on a better.

Well, that's what I'm going to do. You do what you want!
