You and I are \u201cemotional\u201d people and \u201cfeel\u201d a full range of emotions. We wouldn\u2019t be human if we didn\u2019t feel good when things are going well, or down when things are not.<\/p>\n
There are \u201cfeelings\u201d that lead to excitement and there are \u201cfeelings\u201d that lead to disappointment.<\/p>\n
Since we are not immune to those \u201cdown\u201d feelings, the question is, What can we do to limit their frequency, length, and severity? Taking control is important because our attitude determines the results we obtain each day.<\/p>\n
We need to keep our mental health in the proper focus.<\/p>\n
Question:<\/p>\n
Have you ever gone to a movie and laughed?<\/p>\n
Question:<\/p>\n
Have you ever gone to a movie and cried? The odds are at least four thousand to one that you answered yes to both.<\/p>\n
Next question:<\/p>\n
Do you really believe you felt those emotions because of something they put in the seats? Or was it because of something put on the screen that went into your mind and in turn affected your thinking and your emotions?<\/p>\n
What you put into your mind does have an impact on you.<\/strong><\/p>\n Fortunately, you can choose what you put into your mind.<\/p>\n Your attitude is important, so we need to carefully look at what we can do to avoid \u201cbad thinking\u2019,\u201d which ultimately leads to \u201chardening of the attitudes.\u201d<\/p>\n At this point you should be thinking to yourself, \u201cOkay, what can I do within my own limited time frame to maintain that positive mental attitude so that I can treat my belligerent prospects as graciously as I treat my friendly prospects? \u00a0<\/p>\n How can I be pleasant to my mate and children as well as my neighbors and casual acquaintances when I\u2019ve had a tough day?\u201d<\/p>\n The answer is simple but not easy:<\/p>\n You cannot control the circumstances in your life, but there are many things you can do to control your mental attitude as you deal with those circumstances!<\/p>\n You begin by understanding this:<\/p>\n \u201cYou are what you are and where you are because of what has gone into your mind, and you can change what you are and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.\u201d\u00a0 Zig Ziglar<\/p>\n \u00a0In short, you choose what you read, listen to, and view.\u00a0You decide what goes into your mind, and the results that come out in the end.<\/p>\n Enjoyed today\u2019s post?
