Y’all… I have a great idea… let’s run in the mud!!

O.K.- more on the mud run later.

I really do have a great idea to share today.

Reciently I was reading something and it made a suggestion. AND IT IS SO EASY!!! This is not just for people who would like to loose weight… it is for EVERYBODY!

It seems that in the past, when I have had a bad day, or I have been depressed about something (usually because I don’t feel good about myself and where I am)… I have a tendancy to think about all the negative things in my life… You know, the usual suspects- “I don’t have enough money”, “My mother is mad at me”, “I did something my wife doesn’t like, so she is miffed at me”, “my kids won’t listen to me”- You know the drill.

Well, it is time to start thinking about the good in life. The best way to do this is to write it down.

Write it down as it happens. Spend two minutes a day writting down good things that happen. “I saw this great show”, “Gee whiz, my foot does not hurt nearly as much as it did yesterday”, “Talked to my mother and we didn’t get in a fight”… whatever it is, just write it down.

Now, go out and get a notebook. Like a diary. And start…. the first entry can be “got this great notebook and I am going to write this great story”. The story is all the good things that happen to you.

Then when you are having a crappy day, it will be easy to not only go back and read about all the things that you feel thankful about, but you also get to focus on new good things to put in the book.
