stop being so negative about everything

All around things are pretty rough right now, and I almost have this comical sense of happiness. Our bills are mounting up again, I need new clothes, God forbid I even think of Christmas shopping, and I’ve not written one page of a five page research paper due on Thursday. But even with all this going on, I see the light at the end of this dark tunnel, and it is illuminating everything for me. I know our bills will get worked out(they always do), I know that Christmas isn’t a total disaster (yet), and I know that a great paper will flow from my fingertips (hopefully today). Everything has its own way of working out, and I know that.

Progress…

that my negative behavior also affects my headaches as well. Go figure. It seems that whenever I get stressed (mostly about the hubby), I spawn a headache. I’ve really got to see the positive side of things, rather than how bad they are.

Good example: Hubby needs to quit drinking for health reasons. He has a few drinks and I immediately spiral into my negative behavior, rather than telling him I am proud of him not drinking AS much as usual. It makes me feel bad because I know he needs all the help he can get, but I feel like I am just enabling him.

See, I’m doing it again already…

I have a really BAD habit of looking at everything negatively before I can actually see anything positive. I need to change that outlook and just see things for just what they are. Not everything is bad, and not everything will impact my life in a negative way.
