Something Good

Negative thoughts are going to happen. I am going to criticize my body. I am going to think about him. I’m going to let what others say about me determine how I think about me.

What’s different now is that anytime that I think about negative things I force myself to think about something else. Something good.

It isn’t an easy thing but it is possible. There are many times I want to cave in and dwell on thoughts that don’t deserve to be dwelled on. I have been tempted to put my thoughts into action but I haven’t. I will admit it has only been a week of me doing this hardcore so time will tell, but I am determined to not let these thoughts run my life like in the past.

It will require determination and discipline, but it is up to me and only me to change parts about me and my life. No one else.

The thing is everyone struggles. Everyone has negative thoughts. Everyone has sad thoughts. Everyone has bad days. It just looks different on each person.

I choose to be happy and deep down it really is that simple. Though it may be simple, it isn’t easy. Surround yourself with good people. Do things that make you happy. Focus on the good. Know you are not alone.
