Positive Babble - Thoughts of Change! A Tiny Tidbit Babble...

Thoughts of Change! A Tiny Tidbit Babble...

04/04/22 • 1 min

I needed something light and easy this week to share and I found it. I took us back into the Daily Book of Positive Quotations by Linda Picone and this is a real gem.
Straight forward and to the point, if you think you can you will and if you think you can't you won't. This entry is so right on. There is no great mystery behind positive thinking. It is all up to us to figure out how we want to face the world each day. Do you jump in with a smile or trudge in head down. Some days it feels harder than others to gather up the courage to change your thinking, but it's worth the effort. I have proved it to myself time and time again. I hope you know you are worth that effort too friend.
This week I chose a different method of delivering your Positive Babble. How do you like the episode minus the intro and outro and set to music?? I really like it. It was an experiment and again, I did it all myself so I am celebrating that.
I got this idea from a great friend, Beth Lease, over at the So, I Got Divorced Podcast. She does the super cool background music in her podcast too! Check her out anywhere you get your podcasts from she's fantastic.
Thanks for listening!
Have an amazing week!

Zoom In On The Good Things Happening In Your Day!

I keep reading that having one difficult, disappointing or embarrassing thing happen to us in a day can keep us from noticing anything good or even great that happens in addition. Well that just sucks. I know I've been guilty of it on occasion myself.
In this short babble I talk about how maybe we can try something else. Let's become more aware of the fact we are zooming in on something unpleasant or obsessing about something we can't control, then like a camera lens, zoom out again and let our whole day come into the picture. Once we do that we can start to list all the great things that went on. Once we see an example of something happy, fun or great, zoom in on that. Focus your attention there.
Repeat this as often as you'd like so you can truly see how much good stuff your day is composed of. Remember the good things are often the little things, so don't pass up that great cup of coffee you got from your favorite barista or the woman that told you how she liked your hair! It all counts my friends.

Rewrite Stories that No Longer Serve You!

This week I totally caught myself holding onto a negative experience that wasn't allowing me to move forward. In fact, it was keeping me from utilizing a valuable resource I have been paying for. I know, I know. Why, you ask? Well because my brain held onto the negative instead of finding the positive. But I had to share this with you because everyone does things like this. I am so glad I took a good hard look at myself, realized what I was doing and have now rewritten that story to a more positive one.
Is this positive you ask?? Oh Yeah!
I feel so grateful when I become aware that I am doing something that isn't serving me. I can then change the behavior. Zoom out and see the positive aspects, reframe the situation or retell the story of whatever it might be.
You see to me, our Mindset is most important and I find when I hold on to a negative feeling or story in my mind, it spills over into other areas of my life holding me back. And that my friends just will not do.
I also touch on forgiving myself for the behavior. It's okay that I went through what I did. I learned something from it and now will be more aware incase anything similar comes up in the future. I'll be able to spot it quicker and change it even faster. I hope this helps you give yourself some grace next time you have to call yourself out on some B.S. :)
I end this longer babble with aquote from my You Are A Bad Ass Desk Calendar by Jen Sincero. It's really a perfect one to because it talks about our excuses and well, I was making those too! Time to push through and get busy!
I've got this!
