Boy, was I wrong... I thought it would be a piece of cake to pick one mini-goal for the day. Problem is, there are so many areas I want to work on that I waffled from one to the next to the next... I finally settled on committing to smiling more and being friendly to everyone today. I don't know how other people reacted, but I have to admit - I felt SOOOO much better today!!!!!! I think over the past few years, I've become a much more negative person, and I hate that. I have always been a glass half-full person and try to see the positive side of things. Even though I am still positive most of the time, I have let some negativity creep into my everyday life and it has really dragged me down. As a matter of fact, thinking about it over the course of the day, I have come to the conclusion the negativity is a rock or an anchor weighting me, making it hard for me to walk, and sometimes even breathe.... One thing is for sure - I DON'T LIKE IT!! It is NOT who I am. The question then becomes - what do I do about it??
When I was thinking of setting a mini-goal each day, I thought I might choose something different each day. And although I think I still will, I am thinking of keeping this as one of my mini-goals at least once a week. It truly is amazing how much better I felt today. Life is SO serious, and I have so many responsibilities, it's easy to get caught up in the everyday, and forget to laugh and have fun. If I can devote at least one day a week to smiling more and being friendlier to everyone, I think it will help me get back to the fun-loving person I used to be...
