You get what you speak

Recently I was listening to a coworker of mine talk about their life. She was telling me how she never has enough money, never has enough time, and just all around isn't happy.

I was polite and just nodded and encouraged her, but in the back of my head I knew my words were not falling on any sort of fertile ground. She had taken the jewel that is the brain, and turned it into a playhouse for negative thoughts. Nothing i was saying was having any sort of long term effect, but instead it was just 'making her feel better' for five minutes.

Now I know none you reading this have ever been like that.... Right? You've never taken a 'whoa is me' day and played the game of how much worse can it get!

What should we do when we lean towards those tendencies? DO SOMETHING!

Anything at all can work. Figure out what's bothering you and instead of planning planning planning. Actually take the NEXT step and DO IT!

Just decide. And for those of you (myself included) that are saying to yourself "but you don't understand, it's hard for me to start something". Yes I do understand. But I also KNOW that that's all in your head. You are TELLING YOURSELF THAT. And the more you say it, the more real it becomes.

Ask yourself.... What's the worse that can happen?
