Throw Out Fifty Things

Monday Morning Motivator-STOP SLAPPING NEGATIVE INTERPRETATIONS ON EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS!

                                          STOP SLAPPING NEGATIVE INTERPRETATIONS
                                               ON EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS!

You know what I mean. They don't answer your email, somebody looks at you a little bit funny, the meeting gets canceled. Whatever. And right away you make it mean something bad: "They didn't like my idea, probably don't think I'm all that great, they're probably right; I'm probably not." Don't do it. You torture yourself needlessly and kill your positive energy. And nine times out of ten, your negative interpretation is completely wrong! Something came up, they had an emergency, they're overwhelmed with other things that have absolutely nothing to do with you! Next time something occurs or somebody says something, hold it for just a second and make up a positive, not a negative interpretation - one that propels you forward not back.If you can do this one thing every day, you can be happy. Guaranteed.
