Greet each day with an outstanding attitude

I am grateful for my life and its many blessings; I desire to awake every day with joy in my heart and loving thoughts on my mind..I am having a difficult time lately..re-reading these goals after not coming onto this site for a long time is good for me to do. I have taken a few things off and added new ones to the list.

...this goal is created with the ‘outstanding’ bit in substitute for good/great/inspired/motivated/happy.

Well here’s the thing I did 15 mins of cardio each day during the week before last with my vitual pc personal trainer.

I did feel quite good that week.

But here’s the thing 30 mins of cardio exercise can produce 77% more feel good chemicals than normal and the effects can last 24 hours.

So more organised carido? Perhaps when the caffeine rush wears off…

Yeah, I realised that I do greet each day with an outstanding attitude: an outstandingly BAD one.

a morning person, so it is not so easy for me to “greet the day with an outstanding attitude” :))))). no drastic improvement in my life’s quality – I wake up at 6, and still did not get used to it but with each day it’s easier and easier for me not to feel drowsy. I guess I’ll start jogging /rollerskating in the mornings…

This is one of those odd goals that’s never really ‘done’, but of late I’ve felt in a place to finally tick it off. Not sure ‘outstanding’ isn’t a bit of hyperbole, but any time I’ve found myself particularly grumpy in the morning this goal does drift through my head – and reminds me that a large part of my mood is self-determined.

Add to that the quote from yesterday – today is a new day, anything is possible! I don’t always manage it, but it’s so true: it doesn’t matter what happened yesterday, today is a fresh start, a whole new opportunity to move forwards with my goals and life :)

“The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn’t, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.” Monica Baldwin

to an entry by http://www.43things.com/person/carpe_diem_for_me I woke up this morning and greeted the world by saying “something great is going to happen today and I can’t wait to find out what it is” (actually I even went to bed with that thought in my head!) and I did have a great day! We went to the local swimming area where I did 6 seventy metre laps of the pool, (some swimming some walking) this was a good thing for me! Tonight I found a link to a book about the physicology of losing weight which seems really interesting and the local library has it so I joined the reserve list and will give it a read! I am going to use the same affirmation tomorrow and see what happens!!!

For some reason I’ve been feeling pretty anxious for a while. I feel like I have some challenges cumulating and no-one to help me face them. Join the club, right?

Even contemplating certain types of stress seems to stress me, and I start doing things to avoid it that make matters worse.

I think that this became an issue ever since I nearly completely lost my mental health working under a toxic mentor. It was like my emotional skin was nearly worn away and hasn’t quite fully grown back, so I’m wondering if I can cope taking on more stress.

My otherhalf supports me in anything I do, but that support isn’t usually in a form that actual helps me.

Anyway, I’m probably just blowing things out of proportion just by worrying about them. It’s just that I find it hard to greet any day at the moment when I’m half crawling through them, reaching out a hand to others when I can because it’s good to put a smile on someone’s face but at the same time not seeing a helping hand from anyone else.

Maybe I’m too good at pretending things are all okay.

and still managed to have an outstanding attitude :0)

I woke up in a foul mood this morning. Have been over-tired of late, and struggled to get to sleep last night for “first day of school” fears, inventing conversations in my head to tell my boss how little I knew, and please don’t really ask me to do anything, and I’m struggling to learn… hah! Woke up still tired, and just with those feelings that nothing’s going right. Hence to mediocre motivation noted today!

The shower helped. Making myself focus on now instead of letting my mind wander into misery. Once I woke up a bit, realism kicked in a bit and the doom’n’glooming started to lift a little. Heck, life ain’t so bad, and the work ‘issues’ haven’t even happened – and might not!

At that point I decided to forget about rushing out of the door, and just got through what needed done (and left pretty much on time anyway!). And whoosh – GLORIOUS sunshine! :) How can a day be bad with such lovely weather?

Here’s my moral: when I wake up grumpy it’s really just me, and usually just ‘cos I’m tired. If I take that into the office, then I’m setting myself up for the rest of the day being rubbish. If, however, I fake it – I mean, why inflict my raincloud on the rest of the team? – then the response I get back is usually enough to genuinely lift me out of that misery.

Ain’t headology amazing!?
