It’s MONDAY! This low-key weekend was exactly what I needed after the craziness that has been going on with the blog, work, my side hustles, my friends, my relationship, the list can go on and on. And when you have a lot going on it can be easy to harp on the bad/annoying/discouraging aspects of life. And honestly, that mindset has been tempting over the last few weeks.
Even if nothing is game changing or terrible, when your to-do list is about a mile long and you constantly have to move from one task to another without taking time to decompress, at the end of the day it is really easy to think about what went wrong that day or how you could have done something better. Usually this mindset is a result of determination and drive to be the best you can be, but it can actually severely impact your perspective on your work and your personality/professionalism.
This is NOT a healthy way to think of things and I’m definitely guilty of letting this mindset getting the best of me. However, as I’ve grown in my career (and even in college) I have challenged myself to find something good in every experience. If things aren’t going my way, I try to think about what I can learn from that experience or what new opportunities those experiences can raises.
As a generally positive person, it surprises me how hard it is to find something good in every situation. It is hard to look past the unbearable comparison game in the blogger community, the politics of the workplace, the pressure to make time for everything and everyone, the expectation to be a perfect friend and girlfriend without ever missing a beat. With things moving a mile a minute, you’re going to make mistakes and you’re going to do something that makes you think WTF, but I PROMISE there is something good in all of this.
Finding something good in your everyday does wonders for your mental health. It makes you remember that you are on your own path to success and what everyone else is doing matters VERY little. It keeps you laser focused on the goal you are trying to reach. It makes you want to do more of the good and less of the bad, helping you prioritize your workload.
With everything going on I already know the next few weeks are going to be a serious struggle. BUT I’m challenging myself to focus on finding something good without wavering for a single second. Who’s with me?!
I really like this mindset. It helps set the tone for your everyday life.
I really needed to see this today, such a good way to look at each and everyday and find something good. I need to start doing just that and avoid getting stressed easily.
I always try and look for the good in the everyday happenings of life. Sometimes though, it’s hard when crazy things are happening. Here’s to finding the good in everyday!
I love this attitude. I do always try to find something good in the world when I’m upset. It usually helps.
I love your post above, ” I have challenged myself to find something good in every experience. If things aren’t going my way, I try to think about what I can learn from that experience or what new opportunities those experiences can raises”.. I also find good in every trials, I never let it ruin my day! We just need to be positive in every way!
I think it’s important that we find the good in everything. It’s not always easy but it’s neccesary.
It’s definitely easier to get through the days when you train yourself to focus on the positives.
I always believe that there is something good in every people or situation. If you think that you are experiencing the worst, maybe the lesson you will learn is the good thing that will happen.
Finding the good in everyday life is key to help with the thoughts in your head. I’m glad you’re looking at the positives.
