7 Day Positivity Challenge Day 3: Easing into it


Day 3 was a cake walk...

I had some problems sleeping the last few nights because I wasn't smoking weed, but a swift adjustment of my no weed rule to a weed to sleep so I don't make my day harder yielded great results and I woke up after 7 and a half hrs sleep ( a marathon for me compared to my usual 4-5 hrs) feeling like a champion gentleman. Or Gentleman champion I can't decide which sounds more baller.

Productivity is way up because instead of complaining about how annoyng actually having to do work is, I now just do it and reflect upon the fact that it's pretty awesome I can do my work from home in my gym shorts.

Traffic again was the only time I even had any sorts of problems and that's mostly due to people not seeming to understand where one lane ends and another one begins. Perhaps I should start teaching seminars on that :)

It's also way easier to meet girls because there's no time or room for negative thoughts and that makes approaching all the time pretty easy.

Still waiting for things to get harder which may happen tomor as I need to deal with some lingering issues in the business and that may stress me a bit. But it will be what it is whether or not I stress it, so I'm gonna try to relax and enjoy the process.

Best,

    Day 3... It's going pretty well. I haven't felt anything overly positive flowing through my body... Still more neutral and an absence of negative feeling.

    However, I have noticed that I haven't internalized anyone else's negative emotions. Sometimes my coworkers spout off about all their bullshit and I can't help but get pulled into the negative spiral. It seemed a battle at times to reflect negativity back at other people or just deflect it elsewhere, or whatever, but it felt good to hold a positive frame. There's definitely some power in not allowing other peoples' problems to be mine.

    All in all, this has been a good thing so far. I feel more at ease and like I'm swimming with the current, rather than against it.

    You know after this all is over, can you positively bash on Neil. I always rather enjoyed War on the Game.

    Hey Sinn,
    If you haven't already discovered him yet try some of Blair Singers stuff. I got a Cd called little voice management systems that I found really great for this kind of stuff. Actually made a permanent improvement in my outlook.
    Cheers
